Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Israel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 {{Wikipedia: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 {{Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia'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.

Israel

[edit]
Eliminate Hamas and bring the hostages home (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:GNG. I have been unable to find anything that establishes that this political slogan is independently notable. A search in Hebrew yields no results, and the Arabic yields two results that do not suggest it is notable. There are more results for 'bring them home', but that is not a phrase solely attributed to Netanyahu or the Israeli position. As for a policy position, it is simply too vague a title. Other than the fact the slogan lacks independent notability, the actual content of the article deviates into other issues that are already covered by numerous other articles at Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip, Gaza war hostage crisis, and Gaza war protests. This is a contentious topic, and I considered it inappropriate to PROD. Local Variable (talk) 03:46, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2025 Iranian exodus from Tehran (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Beyond concerns that much of this content was generated by a large language model (LLM), I have concerns that the subject of this article itself has been either hallucinated by artificial intelligence or is human-produced WP:SYNTH. Sources do report that many Iranians left Tehran in the midst of the recent Israeli strikes, but that's about as far as they go. Most of the sources cited do not even focus on internally displaced persons. This article purports that there was a mass exodus of Tehran residents on a scale "unprecedented [...] in the history of Iran" (stated in the lead but never elaborated on). The article gives a figure of 300,000 displaced, but that's the number of people warned to evacuate, not necessarily the number who did. It also appears that many (most?) have already returned since the ceasefire. Not a single source, cited in this article or not, that I have found indicates that the recent conflict caused an IDP crisis of sufficient standalone notability outside the broader war to deserve a separate article. — Anonymous 21:46, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It is clear that most of those voting for this article to be deleted, didn't read the sources, including the user who nominated the article to be deleted. I rewrote the article myself, so the suggestion of use of LLM, is untrue. Several of the articles are very specific in the use of the word - EXODUS. Furthermore, the articles describe real events of mass evacuation, claiming otherwise is an attempt to bend the truth. Not mentioning the fact that one user didn't even take the time to check the sources. Just to prove my point, we are a month and a half after the events, and here are some more examples for the use of the word EXODUS:

Emotion in Motion (album) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There is no single source in this article since it was published in 2010 and a WP:BEFORE has shown that there is nothing available to prove that it passes even minimum notability for WP:NALBUM. Patre23 (talk) 09:00, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This music duo does not meet WP:NMUSICIAN per WP:BEFORE. Article has been sustained by a single sources since its publication in 2006 and there are still nothing available now that can be added to improve the article Patre23 (talk) 08:57, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-Israel sentiment (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:ONEOTHER isn't the most explicit, but I'm led to believe this page is unnecessary. Given that there are only two topics listed here, it seems that this page should be a redirect to the most similarly named one (Criticism of Israel), with a hatnote to the other (Anti-Zionism). Perplexingly, the latter currently has a hatnote to both this redundant page and another directly to Criticism of Israel. Why have an extra page when the two work just fine? Yes, there's a see also section here, but DAB pages don't exist to accommodate see also sections. Just as a brief note since I understand there's been confusion before, I'm aware that I could technically BLAR this page myself, but seeing as it could perhaps be slightly controversial, I'm listing it at AfD (with the goal of redirecting, not deleting). — Anonymous 21:14, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Would seem to fail WP:NBOOK and lacks other notability from verifiable reliable sources. Iljhgtn (talk) 07:41, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The book qualifies under Wikipedia:Notability (books) criteria as having at least two real, non-trivial reviews, in respected sources that are independent of the book itself:
  1. Nine page long, wide and deep Dr Levin's review
  2. One page long, substantive and precise Segula Magazine review — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guybas (talkcontribs) 01:57, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
