Delete or Merge to Nonie Darwish. Non notable article about something that is run from a blog that gets rarely updated: http://arabsforisrael.blogspot.com/ A lot of this article is about Nonie Darwish herself and not her organization. Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 21:56, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Question. Who said it's "run from a blog" or that the blog is even a semi-important part of the organization?--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 21:59, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The blog is the organizations main website? Isn't it? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 22:00, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I would surmise that an organization would not consider its blog as its main website. The organization appears to receive significant coverage in reliable sources, so if your basis for deletion/merge is that the blog is not updated frequently, perhaps we should clarify whether the blog is even an integral part of the organization, let alone its main website.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 22:06, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I have searched on the web and it looks like the blog is the organizations only website, do you know any other website? And this organization is not covered in reliable sources, a Google search shows its mostly mentioned in blogs, forums, other shady websites etc. The only reliable source I could find was from the telegraph.co.uk[1] but that article was about Nonie Darwish herself and not the organization "Arabs For Israel". --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 22:14, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm, you may be right, especially about those "shady websites." :) I would support a merge into Nonie Darwish if so supported by a consensus.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 22:24, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep it is a notable organization, there are a significant number of reliable sources, four of which are cited in the article. Topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, so it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article.

- Merge There is no evidence that this actually is an organisation; all I can see is that it exists as a website/blog. Certainly there is nothing to indicate that this is notable enough to have its own article. Anything not already included in the Nonie Darwish article can be added there.

- Merge into Muslim Zionism. Shii (tock) 05:05, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Note it makes no sense to merge into Muslim Zionism since it is a group of Arabs, not Muslims. Marokwitz (talk) 05:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep. I am surprized with the arguments of the nominator: there are sufficient reliable sources to identify notability of the association. --Sulmues Let's talk 20:32, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - agree that merge makes no sense. There do appear to be sufficient third party sources to support notability. |► ϋrбanяeneωaℓ • TALK ◄| 02:20, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
