Third Intifada

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

This article had previously been deleted because it was created before the event in question. The current article has been created after the event in question, but the event does not appear to be notable. Rather than a long term intifada, the event appears to have been a one-day protest (see news reports here and here). Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:23, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for stated reasons and for having no sources whatsoever and biased language. PluniAlmoni (talk) 14:58, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no evidence that this is the start of a real intifada. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 18:10, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Is there a good reason not to tag it Db-repost for speedy deletion ? Sean.hoyland - talk 18:17, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply As explained in the nomination, the prior nomination was for an article in anticipation of the event. The current article was written after the event, and so the underlying policies are different. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 18:26, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I think you are being very kind. The details may differ but the articles are substantially the same, a description of something that doesn't exist yet called the Third Intifada. Not only that but the topic is covered by discretionary sanctions so I would have been inclined to kill with fire but I guess the outcome will be the same either way.

Delete under the principle of Not News. This is a one-day protest in no way comparable to the two Intifadas. Carrite (talk) 18:19, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; no evidence as yet that these events will be important or will be the "Third Intifada." Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 19:32, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Intifada for now, recreate if this really takes off and becomes known as the "Third Intifada". Qrsdogg (talk) 21:24, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a current event in its infancy. Events similar to this have usually become notable. The quality of the article is more the issue than the notability, and had it been written well, it never would have been put up for deletion. Linda Olive (talk) 03:53, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But it really isn't because there is no such thing as the Third Intifada. There are the events of Nakba_day#2011_commemoration. Sean.hoyland - talk 04:01, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I've speedied earlier versions of this. It's pov and unsourced, also deleted by a previous afd Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:29, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. Wikipedia does not deal with speculated future historical events. No reliable sources say that this event actually happened. In the current form, should be speedily deleted. Marokwitz (talk) 08:54, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Actually, at least one reliable source (CBS News) does verify that something happened that was spurred by this facebook group. (See the links above in the original nomination.) But that something was not much different than any other day-to-day uprisings that occur in the region. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 09:44, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If that was an Intifada why not then call the widespread uprisings "the Third World War"? BTW You might want to speedily delete this page as well since it covers the same subject.--Rafy talk 01:23, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if written properly: The news search shows dozens of stories discussing the possibilities and efforts to organize. The various viewpoints make the concept notable, whether or not full blown ongoing protests are labeled that way. Just curious as to how many protests make an intifada in minds of those who would delete it. CarolMooreDC (talk) 23:47, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
