Keep and move to Killing of Samer Abu Daqqa. As an event it has clear notability, with the Committee to Protect Journalists having a dedicated piece on it and a ton of news articles about it. The rule for BLP/BIO1E is not to delete the entire article, but to focus it on the notable event, and there is a notable event here. nableezy - 16:45, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Haifa School airstrike for now. Though I am unsure if even that event is independently notable. Airstrikes and people dying are a pretty routine part of war. Alternatively delete. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:09, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to 2023 Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip. It's a better target and where this really belongs. -Ad Orientem (talk) 18:22, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment also WP:RECENT, WP:SUSTAINED, WP:EFFECT, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:PERSISTENCE, WP:GEOSCOPE, WP:TOOSOON JM (talk) 17:16, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Unless you are under the impression that an air strike on a reporter is a routine event then WP:NOTNEWS simply does not apply. Unless you think we can not cover anything that has happened in the last month none of the others apply either. nableezy - 18:16, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It warrants coverage but not its own article. It should be merged or redirected to 2023 Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip probably along with the Haifa School airstrike page. We don't make independent pages for every incident in wars. -Ad Orientem (talk) 18:25, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes that’s why we have articles for individual hostages, for individual shooting attacks by Palestinians, for basically any act of violence by a Palestinian. Widely covered acts by Israel that are credibly called war crimes however is where we draw the line apparently. nableezy - 18:59, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:OTHERSTUFF. But FWIW I do not support articles about individual hostages, unless there is a credible claim to notability beyond that single event. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:02, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The OTHERSTUFF argument stops being useful when the editors voting to keep one set of articles vote to delete articles that have considerably more coverage. nableezy - 19:19, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, it doesn't. Regardless, which editors and articles do you have in mind? JM (talk) 19:37, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seconding this in its entirety. The Kip 07:23, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails at notability. e.g. fails WP:SUSTAINED. TaBaZzz (talk) 18:29, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Move to "Killing of Samer Abu Daqqa" as per Nableezy Synotia (moan) 19:48, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: and move to Killing of Samer Abu Daqqa - this is an unusual and notable event that has already well surpassed the coverage levels for WP:GNG. Iskandar323 (talk) 20:00, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: and move per Nableezy. CarmenEsparzaAmoux (talk) 23:14, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: What is the reason for nomination for deletion? The character achieves note clearly and prominently, and he is the first Al Jazeera journalist to be killed in Gaza! He is one of the founders of the Al Jazeera office in the Gaza Strip, meaning that he is not only a photojournalist, but one of the founders of the first Al Jazeera office in the Gaza Strip! Nominating the article for deletion or changing the name of the article is a very strange thing!!!--— Osama Eid ^(talk) 23:16, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The reason, as explained above, is that he does not pass the guidelines for establishing encyclopedic notability. -Ad Orientem (talk) 23:31, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, I don't understand why he asked "What is the reason" when I, you, and others have provided policy-based arguments as to why it should be deleted, moved, or merged. I listed 9 reasons for deletion and still he asks "what is the reason". JM (talk) 00:34, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And apparently he does not feel any of your listed reasons actually applies. Nor do I. nableezy - 02:29, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As to whether he feels the reasons apply or not, he did not say; all he said regarding my reasons was "what is the reason" and whether he agrees with the reasons or not, he's not even acknowledging that I provided any, let alone 9 of them. JM (talk) 04:12, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Move/Draftify. Certainly should be a "Killing of" article rather then a bio per WP:BLP1E. Unconvinced that notability at that level is clearly substantiated yet, so I think draftifying said article would probably be a good idea as well, but the move would be most important. DarkSide830 (talk) 02:59, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge (very selectively) into Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, where this journalist belongs yet isn't mentioned. All this as BIO1E. This destination is preferred over the List of journalists killed in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war that comes with the article, because the list should be merged into Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war as well. Yet the list is also a valid destination, as right now it exists alongside. Maybe by current setup the article is too refined. It's possible. Both would be legitimate destinations. My recommendation holds unless RS/I/V previous coverage ON this journalist is found. Always hard to find ON journalists as blurred by materials BY a journalist. So just tag me if you have it. I apply exactly the same standards for all sides and sorts (i.e. including for Hamas "militants", which this journalist is not). gidonb (talk) 03:36, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: A journalist who deserves an article about himself and not only because of his killing. Eladkarmel (talk) 12:05, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eladkarmel Is "he deserves it" really your reasoning here? Any guidelines or policies backing that up? We should take this seriously and have a policy-based discussion, not an ethics debate. JM (talk) 12:38, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
They might've meant that Abu Daqqa "warrants" an article on the grounds of his notability as a journalist rather than just his killing. Mooonswimmer 16:51, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep enough coverage to pass WP:GNG, neutral on Nableezy's proposal to change the article title. Inter&anthro (talk) 22:45, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Inter&anthro Would you say that this coverage is of his death, or of his life in the context of his death? Or is there actual coverage of this person outside of the context of his death? Because if the latter is false, its plainly WP:BLP1E and the subject himself does not pass WP:GNG, so the article would at least need to be changed to Death of Samer Abu Daqqa, if not merged or deleted. JM (talk) 16:38, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It would be Killing of Samer Abu Daqqa as he was killed by an Israeli drone attack and did not die peacefully in his sleep. In a normal world it would be Murder of Samer Abu Daqqa but for some reason we need an Israeli court to convict an Israeli soldier of murder to call it that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . nableezy - 16:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war per Gidonb. When the bulk of his article/notability is due to his death, a standalone wikibio isn't quite justified. The Kip 07:20, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
