Alaa Abdulkareem Fartusi

Subject of article, while unfortunately recently deceased, is a casualty of a bombing which already has its own article - 2008 Balad bombing. Article does not establish that the subject has any notability beyond being a victim of that incident. Wikipedia is also not a memorial. Ozgod (talk) 16:28, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In which case they should be listed within the article which covers the event that they died in. Much like the Virginia Tech massacre where most of the biographies of the victims are kept within the article - unless they were notable for something they did within the scope of that event that made them notable. --Ozgod (talk) 04:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He was a notable cameraman for a Shiite TV station. We have articles on almost all cameramen at American TV stations. Plus, he was the first journalist killed this year in Iraq. Deleting this ould prove how much systemic bias Wikipedia has. Editor of the wiki 09:44, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
