WP:BLP1E - this is biography of a living person known as a result of one event, which can be seen in the fact that the entirety of the coverage is directly related to this single event. This belongs as a few sentences in Human rights in the Palestinian National Authority or as part of a more specific Freedom of Expression the Palestinian National Authority.

  • Delete Per nom. This individual is notable for one specific event and no more. The nominator mentions several very viable merge topics for rescuing usable content. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 09:25, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Fulfills WP:1E exemption: "Large coverage of the event in reliable sources that devotes significant attention to the individual's role." See all notable coverage of Husayin in the article in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Le Monde, Associated Press and others.

Look again at the examples given there. You really want to argue that this blogger being arrested compares to the assassination of world leaders? nableezy - 21:48, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Even if that were true, how does that make this not a violation of WP:BLP1E? nableezy - 23:07, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No different from non-notable Furkan Doğan. Chesdovi (talk) 00:56, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The nomination misses the point, because even if WP:BLP1E applies here, the article should not be deleted but converted to an article about what happened to this man (which would involve little more than a title change). These events are certainly notable, as Supreme D. stated and as the sources in the article and in Plot Spoiler's comment show. Jalapenos do exist (talk) 15:25, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Notabilty for the article subject is backed by the reliable and verifiable sources that cover him as an individual. Alansohn (talk) 03:19, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Sufficient coverage to reflect notability.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:27, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep due to the extensive international coverage. Schwede66 17:36, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I think a relevant question to be asked here is this: Can we reasonably expect our readers to search for this person? Considering the fact that he has been covered in the New York Times, BBC News, and the Washington Post, and considering that the page has already received 400+ views in the first two weeks of its existence, the answer is a resounding "yes". --Cryptic C62 · Talk 20:25, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
