Tala Halawa

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Biography of a living low-profile person whose notability stems from a single event (WP:BLP1E). The subject is hardly notable on her own merit, and as such, makes it impossible to provide a neutral point of view. Fjmustak (talk) 14:48, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment I am confused. When there already exists a State of Palestine and Economy of the State of Palestine Wikipedia articles. Isn't there a 'WikiProject Palestine forum' already set up, where you can take this article for Deletion discussion? Similarly why did a German ambassador's article ended up here for deletion discussion a few weeks ago? Nobody answered that question of mine then either. Reading the nominator's comments above, I can fully understand why Tala Halawa article was included in the 'list of Journalism-related deletion discussions'. Can someone please provide a Wiki link here that has info to clarify this for me? Thanks Ngrewal1 (talk) 18:50, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * The AfD was apparently added to the Pakistan list instead of the Palestine list (common mistake), but glad it brought you here, as it's pretty quiet. --Fjmustak (talk) 00:48, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your input. I'm not exactly sure what you see as remarkable though.  --Fjmustak (talk) 00:48, 11 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep - This article has tried to have plenty of news coverage from the Israeli newspapers as well as the international news media like the British newspapers – fairly balanced point of view. Ngrewal1 (talk) 06:08, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
 * "Tried" indeed. No matter how hard the article tries, it's nearly impossible to achieve a balanced point of view here:  Israeli newspapers are hardly impartial.  The point is that this article is about a living person, who is just another aspiring journalist with very little public info and no notable achievements who's had a single newsworthy event in her life (pretty much spelled out in WP:BLP1E).  When the "controversy" section takes up more than 90 percent of the article (including one of two sentences in the lede), then I don't see how this individual merits an article. Had it been some high profile journalist who was embroiled in such a controversy, the discussion would have been very different. --Fjmustak (talk) 00:48, 11 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete – This is an attack page that would have been eligible for speedy deletion if it wasn't nominated here first. Zerotalk 01:12, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Only notable in the sense due to her offensive tweets that led to her firing. The "quite remarkable" vote is just nonsense as no evidence is used to back that vote. Just because the firing and her tweets caused controversy it doesn't mean it passes GNG. There is literally nothing else significant about this person other than her ouster from the BBC. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:47, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
