Deletion Sorting
Project

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Israel. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Israel|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Israel. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Misplaced Pages's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Middle East.

This one-line article with one unformatted source has been sitting this way since its creation 3 years ago. Not sure if he's even notable. Yoninah (talk) 21:35, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Death and funeral of Ariel Sharon

Death and funeral of Ariel Sharon (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article's contents were ejected from the Sharon biography. It has grown, and I feel it is excessively newsy, recentist and filled with too many sound bites. It's also clearly eulogistic, as most of those commenting never saw eye-to-eye with him or thought he was a pain in the backside, yet are caught in the dilemma of not speaking ill of the dead. I see nothing of value here – it can all by replaced with fewer words and less blind rhetoric. I tried redirecting it to the bio, but was reverted. I would propose deleting all the sound bites and reinstating a redirect to the bio containing a prior version of the reactions section that I feel is infinitely more encyclopaedic.  Ohc  03:52, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

  • Keep but edit liberally. I think this is a legitimate content WP:SPLIT for the sake of readability given the "primary" article is 76k+ and the split is 16k+. Combined they would still be less than 100k but the event probably meets the criteria of WP:EVENT on its own anyway. That said, Ohconfucius is right in that it could do with some pruning and commentary from leaders of Colombia, Fiji, Mexico and Sweden probably isn't necessary. Stick to the countries with notable relationships with Israel. Shame this couldn't be resolved with an RFC or talk page discussion but there's a good chance this would be considered subject to relevant ARBCOM sanctions so bringing it here might very well prove a wise move. Stalwart111 04:25, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
  • @Stalwart111: The text I proposed replacing this article with, which includes all the notable and excludes all the rhetoric, is less than 400 words long and weighs 5.5kB, so a merger need not bloat the article, especially as you see the opportunity/need to radically prune. And you are right, I didn't want to start another edit war under Arbcom's noses and get bludgeoned to death by Robocop. Can we not try merging it as suggested, and then split it off again when the volume/quality warrants it? -- Ohc  04:49, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Yeah, personally I'd be comfortable with your proposed text/language but that's probably a decision for a wider consensus-seeking discussion. I still think a separate article is justified, though, even if it is significantly shorter. I suspect it will eventually grow into a worthwhile article like those listed below. I think its worth shepherding its progress in that direction from the start, rather than merging it back into the primary article only to split it out later anyway. Your attitude with regard to sanctions is sensible. Stalwart111 04:53, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Keep - Probably, the nominator is unaware about similar aspects. It is not necessary that the particular subject should be WP:RECENT. Nominate maybe unaware of Death and funeral of Margaret Thatcher , Death and state funeral of Hugo Chávez, etc. Bladesmulti (talk) 04:30, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
    • I'm not saying we shouldn't have a so-entitled article, just that the actual valuable (read "encyclopaedic) content can be easily absorbed in the biography. Neither of those articles contains as much recentist and policy-violating cruft as this one. -- Ohc  04:36, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Merge with Ariel Sharon. I see there's about a dozen or so similar pages of world leaders' death and funeral. Their existence doesn't prove the need for this page, however. I don't see what is particularly notable or special about the funeral, in that it cannot be included on the main page. Most of this information, however, is trivial and doesn't need to be included, as mentioned above. Also, Sharon's page isn't excessively long. mikeman67 (talk) 04:39, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Keep, maybe merge - I am sure the Queen's funeral will get an article as well and this is a notable person who died. Antonio Ricky Martin (aca) 08:21, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
  • Keep, maybe merge Ariel Sharon is long-term historically important person. Hafspajen (talk) 11:37, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
  • keep Surprisingly, I'm going to side with Bladesmulti on this one. Personally I think that having articles on state funerals at all is unencyclopedic, but I am confident that if I were to put any of the others up for deletion, it would be WP:SNOWing heavily. Therefore I must conclude that we've established a guideline that state funerals are intrinsically notable. Mangoe (talk) 13:00, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Keep, needs source improvement State funerals of truly notable/legendary, persons, like Sharon (or for example, Nelson Mandela, nothing else than notability level implied here!) are independent hostorical events that warrants their own pages. However, the very first reference, on when Sharon died (ref 1) does NOT mention Ariel Sharon's death at all, but describes his medical condition, since he was still alive at article publication date. Such amateurish reference fallacies must be removed from this article!!!Arildnordby (talk) 17:06, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

The result was merge to Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations. Black Kite (talk) 17:09, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Permanent Mission of Israel to the United Nations

Permanent Mission of Israel to the United Nations (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable pair of diplomatic missions. No refs. No claim of notability. Google search shows LOTS of passing mentions, but I'm not seeing any in depth coverage in independent sources of the mission as a diplomatic mission. Despite being written as a though there were a single Permanent Mission, there appear to be four, NYC, Geneva, Paris and Vienna, so a rename is probably in order even if kept. There is a comparable article Permanent Mission of France to the United Nations which has sources, but no independent sources with in depth coverage. No other Permanent Missions appear to have articles. Rather than deletion there are a range of merge / redirect targets including Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations (also lacking in independent in depth coverage), Israel, Palestine, and the United Nations, Public diplomacy (Israel), Foreign relations of Israel and List_of_diplomatic_missions_of_Israel (the last being my preference). PROD removed. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:51, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
