Gabriel Cadis[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Cadis was murdered, Friday, January 6, 2011 in Jaffa, Israel and article was created within 24 hours. Cadis was head of Jaffa's Greek Orthodox Church Association. The suspects in his murder case are also Christian. Jaffa is part of Tel-Aviv. In 2000, Tel-Aviv contained 4,600 Christians. I'm unable to find any information about Cadis before his murder. Google is coming up with all false-positives when doing a date search, so I may have missed something. See WP:NOT#NEWS and WP:BLP1E. Bgwhite (talk) 23:28, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment AFD needs to be linked to the article by nom. Right now it is red. Wikifan^{Be nice} 00:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's not something the nominator can do. If you click on the red link, you will arrive here at AFD without difficulty. It's a caching or other database problem. Nyttend (talk) 00:07, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Purging the page almost always corrects the problem of the AfD red link in the template. See WP:PURGE for various purging techniques. Northamerica1000^(talk) 11:11, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As noted in the article, Cadis was a popular figure in Jaffa politics. He was the leader of the Greek Orthodox Church. He was murdered at a high-profile event and the suspects include a powerful Arab-Christian family in the Tel Aviv-Jaffa area. Since Christians are a minority in Israel, the killing of a major figure is very notable in the community. Cadis' murder has received press coverage from international press - such as ABC. I concede the importance of Cadis is almost dependent on the murder and in absence of it is likely no article would have been created, however that alone is not a reason for deletion. More info is being released so I would support a "wait and see" approach. It must be emphasized that this was no ordinary murder. I would support a move to "Murder of Gabriel Cadis" or "Killing of Gabriel Cadis." Wikifan^{Be nice} 01:16, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep prominent figure in the minority community. --Shuki (talk) 19:09, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Could you provide some references from before he was murdered on how a prominent figure he was? I was unable to find any, but his murder is creating alot of false positives when doing a search. Bgwhite (talk) 20:44, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- WE sometimes have such articles moved in the end to "Murder of AB", where the only notable fact is the murder. For the moment I would suggest leaving things as they are and hope that more detail will emerge. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:29, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
