This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related toIsrael.It is one of manydeletion listscoordinated byWikiProject Deletion sorting.Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page atWP:AFD.Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page atWP:AFD.If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this pageand add{{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}}to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in theedit summaryas it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding{{subst:delsort|Israel|~~~~}}to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a fewscripts and toolsthat can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed bya bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod,CfD,TfDetc.) related to Israel. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except{{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}}is used for MFD and{{transclude xfd}}for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with{{prodded}}will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia'sdeletion policyandWP:AfDfor general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Inadequate sources for this young Israeli as of 2024 to meet GNG. Maybe in the future this could come back or could go to draft space in the meantime. I believe it should be deleted for now.Iljhgtn(talk)02:46, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

- Weak deleteI'm on the fence a bit about this as the references are stocked full of non-reliable sources like Youtube and random blogspot domains. With that being said there's the kernel of a possibility that Da Dresner's work in Ukraine might reach the minimum bar for notability... except forWP:BLP1E.If his notability could be shown to extend to his TV work, other advocacy work or really anything other than one trip to Ukraine I might be persuaded. However the sources presently available in the article do not do this and I did not find anything really missing on a google search.Simonm223(talk)15:18, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

This seems to be anoverly specificandredundantarticle given theGaza humanitarian crisis (2023–present)which already exists and provides key context needed to cover this topic. Very limited coverage on this singular issue as a standalone topic exists with such coverage normally being mentioned inpassing as part of the greater crisis.Originalcola(talk)05:12, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

- KeeppassesWP:GNGwith flying colours. If anything, it should be expanded using the many RS that cover the subject.M.Bitton(talk)13:12, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- I’d strongly argue that this is not the case. Outside ofregular news reportingon the crisis where passing mention is given to preterm births there isn’t any coverage of this topic as a standalone, much less significant coverage in reliable secondary sources.Originalcola(talk)04:30, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep- easily passes GNG, beyond thatGaza humanitarian crisis (2023–present)sits at 89 kB and 14,335 words of readable prose, making itWP:TOOBIGto absorb all this material and this an appropriateWP:SPINOFFfor size reasons.

- A merger would probably only add 100-200 words to whatever article it’s merged with. It might make more sense to merge it withEffect of the Israel–Hamas war on children in the Gaza Stripif size is still too great a concern.Originalcola(talk)04:44, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- How do you figure that unless you gut the entirety of what is merged?nableezy-13:12, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- It was a guesstimate but when merging you'd probably not transfer the lead and background. Both articles have a section or a decent amount of information on Gaza preterm births already, so you wouldn't have to copy all 797 words on this page over.Originalcola(talk)03:09, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

- CommentI don’t really care if the article is deleted or merged, but I removed several sources that were either live updates from news liveblogs or Tweets. So I think the article needs cleaning up. Also I think it is written in news reporting style: on November 12, X happened, then on November 13, Y happened, etc…. I don’t think Wikipedia is supposed to have so many articles written like this unless I am misunderstandingWP:NOTNEWS.More experienced editors may be able to help improve the article and sourcing.Wafflefrites(talk)05:00, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

- KeepThere is a raft of relevant coverage from aid agencies, rights groups and all the major newsorgs (just search premature babies Gaza to see) so GNG is easily met,
passing mention
is simply untrue. The article does need improvement but that's not a reason to delete, I already restored one item adding a secondary to deal with a "newsblog" complaint (these sources are already used in other related articles, btw). G5 was already tried twice and successfully challenged leading to this AfD so "perWP:G5"is not a reason to delete either.Selfstudier(talk)12:19, 12 November 2024 (UTC)- According toanother experienced editor on here,“No pages should really be using live blogs long-term as sources. This is aWP:NOTNEWSissue as much as anything else. Because yes, live blogs are just a stream of off-the-cuff news and unredacted commentary.” PerWP:NEWSBLOG,they should be used with caution.Wafflefrites(talk)14:12, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- What's "unredacted commentary"? Anyway, I added a secondary to the restored material so not a problem. Just some work to locate secondaries, that's all.Selfstudier(talk)14:17, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

- DeleteI have to be honest. Everything that CarmenEsparzaAmoux touched leaves a sour taste in my mouth. When we're crying out for neutrality and independence in this contentious area, the consequences of their actions are so destructive and this isn't about sides.

- Keep- I've already restored most of the deleted content, it wasn't hard to find proper sources to back it up, and I've also added more information. The topic is notable. I don't fully agree with WP:G5 - being a sockpuppet doesn't necessarily means all your edits are trash. We should keep what is salvageable, and in this case, I don't see any significant issues with the existing article, which can certainly be expanded. -Ïvana(talk)01:51, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- Kudos to you for doing that, but there's still a complete lack of secondary sources on this page, with non-routine news coverageon the topic of this article not existing. I don't think this is the right venue to talk about the merits of the G5 rule.Originalcola(talk)03:07, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- Routine news coverage is about announcements and scheduled events. All of the sources in the article are secondary and all of them are non-routine.nableezy-01:42, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

- News articles aren't primary sources unless they are about the news organisation itself.

- Comment- I'm going to ignore the completely reasonable "I don't think this is the right venue to talk about the merits of the G5 rule". My view is that the G5 condition "...and that have no substantial edits by others not subject to the ban or sanctions" is a mistake. It's a self-defeating strategy that rewards and incentivizes ban evasion by over-estimating the importance of preserving content and under-estimating the importance of having effective ban evasion countermeasures. I think articles created by people employing deception in contentious topic areas where socks are common should be deleted even if there are hundreds of 'substantial edits' by other editors, even if there are tens of thousands of daily pageviews, and even if the article has attained featured article status. If the subject matters, other people, not employing deception, will have the same idea at some point and create it again. There's no deadline for content or need to take a short-term view. Anyway, having got that futile rant out of the way, I don't know what "substantial edits by others" actually means in terms of quantities, but here are the quantities in the form of token counts for the content of the current version of the page.
- CarmenEsparzaAmoux 67.3%, Ïvana 15.3%, MWQs 8.9%, Wafflefrites 4.2%, with Nableezy, Pincrete, טבעת-זרם each having less than 1%.
- Uninvolved admin note,G5 had been brought up and the tag has also been declined twice. Rather than continuing to litigate that procedural element, please focus on whether the subject is notable and/or if it should be merged. The decision will be made on community consensus and not speedy grounds.StarMississippi21:26, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- RedirecttoEffect_of_the_Israel–Hamas_war_on_children_in_the_Gaza_Strip#Premature_babieswhere this is already covered at the appropriate level of detail.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,DoczillaOhhhhhh, no!20:15, 18 November 2024 (UTC)Delete-After looking at the arguments, I still think that deletion is the best approach. There's no significant coverage on pre-term births that could meet the standards of notability as perWP:GNG.At present, all the sources on the page are primary sources (predominantly news reports) andthere does not exist secondary sources focused mainly on the topic of this article.Even if such coverage did exist, which is doubtful, no editor has made a convincing reason as to why the content of this article would not be better served as part of another larger article as per the reasons I stated when initially proposing this page for deletion.Originalcola(talk)01:50, 19 November 2024 (UTC)- Double vote

- Keep,meetsWP:GNGwith plenty of coverage in academia[1][2][3][4]and news media[5][6][7][8][9][10].Topic could be broadened to not just focus on 2023-2024, but Gaza overall, as this has been the subject ofWP:SIGCOVprior to the war[11][12][13].I'm not seeing any persuasive argument for merging this with parent articles.Levivich(talk)01:19, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- None of the academic sources cited seem to include more than a single sentence mentioning premature births. [2] doesn't even include a sentence on premature births, just having the word prematurity in a list. This is clearly trivial coverage in articles in which preterm births are not the main focus. The issue with using news articles is that this article assumes that much of the coverage is in relation to individual events like the raid on Al-Shifa last year and thus don't actually say much about preterm births. These events may or may not be notable, but there still remains a clear lack of depth and duration of coverage of increases in pre-term deaths, premature births or anything similar. With regard to the claim that preterm births in a specific area of a country, I would also disagree, especially since all 3 of the sources are masters theses. These are not only unreliable sources by the standards of Wikipedia but also don't seem to have any reason to be linked to what's going on in Gaza right now.Originalcola(talk)04:37, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- Even if we forget about all the academic sources, it still meets GNG based on the news media sources, and those are appropriate sources for a current event such as this war. The news RS don't just focus on one event/hospital (and the selection I posted aren't all of them; more are in the article).Levivich(talk)07:24, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think an article on a topic like this should be comprised mostly or in whole by news articles without a good reason. GNG states that secondary sources should be used, which none of the cited news media articles are; you can't establish notability withjust primary sources.The appropriateness of news articles as sources for an article doesn't mean that they themselves form the basis of notability without reliable secondary sources. It also seems that every source currently in the article is a news article and that there are no secondary sources included in the article at present.
- I also don't agree with your assertion that the articles "don't focus on one event/hospital". Sources 6,7,9 and 10 are also covering one hospital, those being al-Nasr for 6, Al Shifa for 7 and 10 and Emirati for 9. As it stands the article is currently split up into different sections on different hospitals and as such the news articles cited are predominately focused on each individual hospital or event as opposed to the wider topic of the article. In all articles premature births and deaths are mentioned as part of the wider context of the effects of this war on children in the Gaza Strip rather or individual hospitals. This is mostly the case for the news articles cited as well.Originalcola(talk)22:21, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- News articles form the basis of notability for all notable current events topics. You can disagree with it if you want to, but it's still Wikipedia policy that news articles are RS.Levivich(talk)03:39, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- News articlesdo not necessarily form the basis of notability for current events for a variety of reasons I hope are fairly obvious,and there is no indication that this event is notable in the articles. My issue is not that I disagree that news articles are reliable, but that the articles included lacksufficient depthand duration to establish the topics' significance. Many of the sources are reliable without doubt, but for the purposes ofWP:GNGthere needs to exist secondary sources of reliable nature, not just news articles which in this case are predominately primary sources. That's why I put so much weight into the fact that there isn't any academic coverage of this topic, as those are generally the highest quality secondary sources.
- TL;DR:Lack of secondary sources, overreliance on primary sources in news reports.Originalcola(talk)16:12, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- News articles form the basis of notability for all notable current events topics. You can disagree with it if you want to, but it's still Wikipedia policy that news articles are RS.Levivich(talk)03:39, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- Even if we forget about all the academic sources, it still meets GNG based on the news media sources, and those are appropriate sources for a current event such as this war. The news RS don't just focus on one event/hospital (and the selection I posted aren't all of them; more are in the article).Levivich(talk)07:24, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- None of the academic sources cited seem to include more than a single sentence mentioning premature births. [2] doesn't even include a sentence on premature births, just having the word prematurity in a list. This is clearly trivial coverage in articles in which preterm births are not the main focus. The issue with using news articles is that this article assumes that much of the coverage is in relation to individual events like the raid on Al-Shifa last year and thus don't actually say much about preterm births. These events may or may not be notable, but there still remains a clear lack of depth and duration of coverage of increases in pre-term deaths, premature births or anything similar. With regard to the claim that preterm births in a specific area of a country, I would also disagree, especially since all 3 of the sources are masters theses. These are not only unreliable sources by the standards of Wikipedia but also don't seem to have any reason to be linked to what's going on in Gaza right now.Originalcola(talk)04:37, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

- I can't believe you'd look at this article and conclude thata sentenceis the most that would be written in an encyclopedia to cover this topic. How could you possibly condense it all into one sentence? What would that sentence be?Levivich(talk)03:38, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- It's important to note that this is the only article on Wikipedia on preterm births for a given country, region, and/or time period. Whilst only a sentence might be cutting back too much, it seems quite much without some kind of special assertion of notability, unless one were to make the argument that there should be more preterm birth pages.Originalcola(talk)16:28, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS(or not) is not a valid reason to delete, just whataboutism.Selfstudier(talk)16:42, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- I just mean that an aspect of a conflict as specific as preterm births should not have its own independent article without a good reason; there is no presumption of inherent notability for preterm births in a conflict. It's certainly true that it's not enough to say that because other articles don't exist, then this article shouldn't. Conversely, there is no special reason why, in this specific case, preterm births are more notable as to warrant it's own article. Giving this topic its own page gives undue weight to this aspect of the conflict in a way that potentially breaks NPOV, which is what I was trying to get.
- Also, a small technical/semantic issue but I'd like to note that this was a comment on merging, not deleting this page.Originalcola(talk)02:06, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

- Keepfor theWP:GNGreasons listed by others and because ofWP:PAGEDECIDE- if we are trying to decide how to present informationso that readers best understand it,then merging it into an already huge article seems like it would have the opposite impact. The issue in question has global attention and as others have so capably shown, RS (both academic and journalistic) cover it as atopicin its own right,so I don't see why we wouldn't do so, also. There isresearchfrom before 2023-24 that indicates that this is part of aWP:SUSTAINEDissue as well.Smallangryplanet(talk)06:54, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- Also, children doesn't fit. There is also a woman in every pre term birth. So, it could go there or in the page on women. The ambiguity is a reason to do neither.Industrial Metal Brain(talk)14:25, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- I'd disagree on your point onWP:PAGEDECIDE.IMO in order to appropriately cover this topic, you need to include the wider context of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The article proposed to be merged into by others(Effect of the Israel–Hamas war on children in the Gaza Strip) isn't currently that large as it stands.Originalcola(talk)16:39, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- Honestly I'm trying toWP:AGFbut I'm not sure how you can believe this ('wider context') at the same time as youunilaterally blanked a section on embryos,which provided necessary context within the article – one of the things we're supposed to consider for PAGEDECIDE. If anything, this is a sure sign that the article is necessary - it contains separate and important context for a notable issue covered extensively by RS, and merging it with another page (let alone deleting it) does a disservice to the topic and to readers, which, again, is what we're meant to consider.Smallangryplanet(talk)13:39, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

- Merge.There are already articles about theEffect of the Israel–Hamas war on children in the Gaza Strip,Women in the Israel–Hamas war,Timeline of the Gaza Strip healthcare collapse,Gaza humanitarian crisis (2023–present)and attacks on individual hospitals likeAl-Shifa Hospital siege.The topic is not in itself more notable than the death of other babies or children in Gaza, especially because it is incidental to the general attacks on hospitals and not a specifically targeted operation that would need its own coverage. This should be merged into the relevant articles, with some more detail included in the article about the specific hospitals. Compare this to the articleChild abductions in the Russo-Ukrainian War,which was a specific operation not part of the combat itself. If it were to come out that Israel was specifically targeting palestinian children for demographic reasons (compareEthiopian Jews in Israel#Birth control) that would maybe make it deserve a separate article. We also don't have an article about the destruction of oncology departments in Gaza because that comes with the destruction of hospitals in general, and those are already covered in articles about the hospitals themselves, in the article on healthcare and the article about humanitarian crisis. This really is not distinct enough to get its own article. Not everything has to get the same level of granularity as the hundreds of "Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on X" articles. —jonas(talk)15:42, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- It should be mentioned on all of those pages, but the intersection of women + children + health + humanitarian crisis is an independently notable topic with hundreds of sources.Industrial Metal Brain(talk)18:09, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

- Keep.While the topic is fairly specific, it has also received fairly broad coverage over and extended period of time, including some coverage by academics. Merging this with the article on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is not reasonable as that article is already huge.
