Arid Uka[edit]

This article fails WP:BLP1E. The subject is only notable as the perpetrator of the 2011 Frankfurt Airport shooting, and unlikely to become notable for anything else. This article, which was created today, essentially duplicates the content of the article about the shooting, which also makes it a content fork. Sandstein 17:54, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Funny. First you are copying the content from my article to fill out the article about the 2011 Frankfurt Airport shooting and then you are nominating mine to get deleted as it "duplicates the content" you just copied. Very funny. Besides, your article is still incomplete and in several matters simply wrong. So when do you start to act like a WP user who tries to become Wikipedia a trustable resource? Several other articles referring to this assassin are already linked to his article and it is a direct translation to the original article about this guy I posted today in the German WP. I am willing to help with your article due to German law system which you got wrong as soon as this ridiculous matter is solved.ArcCan 18:46, 10 February 2012 (CET)

I did not copy any content you wrote. I could hardly have done so, as you created the article about Uka today, by changing it from a redirect, while the article concerning the shooting has already been in existence since March 2011. This can be verified by looking at the history of the article about Uka and about the shooting. If you believe the article about the shooting is deficient, per WP:CFORK, you should attempt to improve it instead of writing another article about the same subject matter.

Merge and redirect to 2011 Franfurt Airport shooting per BLP1E. It's a good article, but it does make sense to merge the two into one longer article. Gaijin Ninja (talk) 09:53, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – The article was completed with his personal background. He is the guy who made the first "successful" assassination attempt in Germany of Islamist background, so he is definitely relevant as a person, sadly. With his name the article and incident internationally can be found easily whereas the incident's article is not that easy to find. (talk) 21:29, 12 February 2012 (CET)
Keep - I have to agree with ArcCan, Passes WP:GNG.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:48, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I agree with ArcCan. Wide coverage, both in international scope and number or top-level RSs. Passes WP:GNG.--Epeefleche (talk) 04:47, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
