Murder of Shalhevet Pass[edit]

Fails WP:BLP#1E. This is just one of multiple articles about civilian victims of the Israeli Palestinian conflict. I feel sorry for their death (from both sides) but wikipedia is not a memorial. Osm agha (talk) 22:21, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. WP:BLP1E says articles should cover event, not the person, as has been done here. The notability of this event goes beyond ordinary news coverage or a memoriam, because of its political impact -- it became a "Focus of Settler Militancy," to quote the title of the NYT article cited in the lead paragraph.

Keep. Not a biography; it's a notable incident.--brew crewer (yada, yada) 23:30, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, lots of prominent media coverage precludes a BLP1E deletion. While you're at it, consistent with your rationale, please also nominate Muhammad al-Durrah and Faris Odeh, and then try Mark David Chapman and Florence Owens Thompson, ad nauseam. -- Y not? 23:41, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - a notable incident which received broad 3rd party coverage, as attested to by numerous refernces in the article. NoCal100 (talk) 23:45, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Baileypalblue and Brewcrwer. -- Nudve (talk) 07:53, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Baileypalblue. Since this is not a biography WP:BLP doesn't apply and the event has significant enough consequences to be covered. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:07, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - notable event, which, as sources correctly state, caused a notable chain of events, like the actions and arrest of Yitzhak Pass (there was a documentary about it, I think British). All of these events are related and should be discussed in the article. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 11:18, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Y and MacGyverMagiv. Yossiea ^(talk) 15:22, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This specific incident passes WP:BLP1E. youngamerican (wtf?) 03:20, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
