This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Palestine. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject 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 at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP: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:

1. Edit this page and 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 the edit summary as 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.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Palestine|~~~~}} 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 few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Palestine. 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's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Middle East.

  Keep He is a leader of a very underrated group in the war in Gaza, his death and his leadership of the Mujahideen Brigades are important. Farcazo (talk) 23:20, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: First of all the article is not about just an ordinary Palestine Militant. He is the Leader of both Palestinian Mujahideen Movement and its armed wing Mujahideen Brigades since 2007, so saying someone who had led a major militant group in Gaza for more than a decade is unjustifiable. He is a high value target according to Israel and have participation and leadership role in the Nir'oz attack and kidnapping of Shiri bibas and family both of the event have its own wikipedia article and As'ad Abu Shari'a and his group have been mentioned many times in these articles andsnews reports.

It is true he received widespread recognition only after his assassination but reports of him have been in the internet since 2007 and many reports only came after Assassination is due to the secrecy of the group protecting its leader.

The article was made after his assassination but it does not his notability and participation in the Gaza War. Similarly, articles like

Mohammad Kazemi, Mehdi Rabbani, Hassan Mohaqeq, Gholamreza Mehrabi have been made in the ongoing Israel –Iran war only after their Assassination.

So I hope both the both deletion claimed editor and other editors understand the need in keeping the page. Golem469 (talk) 06:38, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He was the leader of an important group of an important war. Yesyesmrcool (talk) 23:09, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
