Targeted kidnappings by Israel Defense Forces

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

One incident is hardly basis for an article. Not to mention that the incident, which lasted a few hours, was described as an interrogation by Israeli media. Debresser (talk) 17:04, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

On a side-note, if this discussion will lead to significant improvement of the article, in such a way that it will not be deleted, then I will also be content. But as it is now, this article is a farce, and a politically inflammable one at that. Debresser (talk) 17:08, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Well, I added it. Perhaps check your instructions, because if a 7-year editor can't get it right, perhaps there is something wrong with the instructions. Debresser (talk) 20:24, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete One single incident does not justify an entire article about "kidnappings".--Ashurbanippal (talk) 19:17, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

A second incident (or series of incidents) was added today, by the original editor of this article. I improved the sourcing a little, but added a Better source tag with the following reason: ''The source has a strong POV. In addition, even this source admits most were released after interrogation. Now, since when is bringing people in for interrogation called "kidnapping"? In addition, the source has a disclaimer, which suggests the materials are not reviewed by any editorial board, in which case they fail WP:RS.'' In simple words, the article did not become and better because of today's addition. rather to the contrary, I'd say. Debresser (talk) 23:06, 11 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete. Sisi may or may not be a notable incident in its own right, but he has an article already. Zahra's case doesn't seem to be notable at all, and no sources have connected them. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 19:26, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
