Entirely unsourced article, with the only reference noted being the Hebrew Wikipedia. I have no idea if any of this is real or not, but as it stands if one removes all material lacking an inline citation per WP:V there is quite literally nothing left. Nableezy 20:01, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Did you check for additional sources per WP:BEFORE? It looked for 30 seconds and I found 1996 articles in the New York Times[1], LA Times[2], and Mideast Quarterly[3]. Plus an analysis from 2000 in the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, [4] and 2014 retrospective in the Jerusalem Post[5].
Seems unquestionably notable per WP:DIVERSE and WP:LASTING. It needs proper sourcing, but that's no reason to delete it. -- Bob drobbs (talk) 20:36, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Like I said, if one were to remove every sentence lacking an inline citation what is left is an empty article. Yes, not having a single source is a reason to delete it. Its been five years since this was created. Not a single source has been cited in that time. nableezy - 20:42, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, this article seems to have degraded severely in time, with an IP editor replacing the sourced version with an entirely unsourced account. Reverting and withdrawing. nableezy - 22:16, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
