Failing WP:BLP1E Arthistorian1977 (talk) 13:29, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Are u kidding me (Subjects notable only for one event), Really !! . He is Correspondent at the Saudi News Agency Almajd TV Network, He is almost everyday on TV. or B/c u r Israeli editor u want to delete the article for any reason ? let us be clear? Warda99 (talk) 15:02, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Rather than deleting this article, let's see about expanding it. Noteworthy subject. Dream of Goats (talk) 07:59, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * i am expanding it, i think we should remove the deletion template.Warda99 (talk) 16:26, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. The WP:BLP1E policy gives three conditions that must all be met to make it applicable. I haven't checked condition 1, but conditions 2 and 3 are pretty obviously not met on the basis of the sources in the article. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:50, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

 * I note that this article was nominated for deletion two minutes after it was created. Let's give people time to finish writing before nominating their work for deletion. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 12:11, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. Has been in the Israeli press regularly for more than a month. Quite a few appearances in the world press.  Has been adopted by Amnesty.  Etc etc, sounds pretty notable to me. Zerotalk 01:36, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

He is a major figure across the world as he is making clear 'freedom or my life'. He's spoken about across twitter and facebook, there is a major petition in favour of him. If this page is deleted people will assume this is due to bias against Paletinians. He is imprisoned without charge or trial.He is on the brink of death, according to his lawyers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sara Apps (talk • contribs) 08:11, 13 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep, i expand it with v.good sources, it's good now. i hope we can remove the deletion template now--Warda99 (talk) 12:30, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * An uninvolved editor will make the decision about whether this should be kept or deleted based on this discussion. Please don't remove the template yourself. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:42, 13 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. This deletion proposal looks to me entirely like a vexatious attempt at propagandistic censorship on behalf, or in favor, of a party that comes out of the solidly NPOV facts recounted here looking very bad, namely Israel. I note that the proposer has made *no* attempt to defend the deletion proposal against multiple clear and well-argued objections. The extreme eagerness shown in making the proposal when the article was only two minutes old almost makes the case for dismissal on its own. Imagine if such proposals became commonplace. Improvements have been made to the article already today; I have volunteered my own assistance for further improvements. KindaQuantum (talk) 20:00, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Please don't make such an assumption of bad faith. Yes, it was a mistake to nominate this for deletion so soon after its creation, but people who live in Israel are just as capable of making an honest mistake as anyone else. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:35, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * This statement is quite offensive and on the edge of failing WP:ETIQ and particularly WP:NPA. The fact that I come from Israel has nothing to do with my opinion and decision to nominate for deletion. If I were thinking to show extreme eagerness to delete, I would definitely use speedy deletion tag and not generate a discussion. For me as an editor, who created articles like Miki Kratsman and Uri Gershuni, who are the most outspoken critics of Israei occupation in the Israel art world, such accusation is especially painful. I do think that this still belongs as part to the article Palestinian prisoners of Israel. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 07:04, 14 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep (or merge) as a developing event. Like Zero0000 has stated, there is information that shows that he's notable outside BLP1E. Are there sources that cover this person outside what we are deeming a "single event" (the hunger strike)? Yes. Will the person otherwise be, or be likely to remain a low-profile individual? I'm iffy. - I think it's too soon for me to make a call on this one. Is the event significant and well-documented? Again, I believe that the answer is yes. It's clearly causing global attention, and there's plenty of coverage on this event. I think that the best solution for now is to keep the article, expand it, and see how the developing event plays out - or if there's an article on the event itself, merge this article with it.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   21:51, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment There is an article Palestinian prisoners of Israel with the subsection of 'Hunger strikes' that in my opinion is the place for this information until it becomes larger than one event definition. I looked at other articles, mentioned in connection with hunger strikes in Israeli prisons. Most of the people mentioned are famous on it's own beyond hunger strikes, being either military commanders or senior political figures. Persons, like Khader Adnan or Abdullah Barghouti. If we take, from another hand, article about Hana Shalabi, she was known only because of her hunger strike, and the article remained one event definition, without any subsequent development, and look like it will stay that way.
