The article was created by a sock puppet, relatively late (on March 8, 2024, five months after the October 7, 2023). Naama Levy is a Israeli soldier. WP:BLP, WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NOTMEMORIAL applied here. 251 Israelies were kidnapped by the Hamas, and there were not articles about everyone of them. I removed some text by the BLP and NOT criteria, but it was restored. The "media coverage" was not relevant. There are other En WP general, not biographical, articles which dealt with the issue. The biography of a living person is not needed here. The subject is not a leader nor a public figure, but a soldier. Please see also Killing of Barel Hadaria Shmueli. _Dgw|Talk 23:29, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I agree with the nom, we don't require an article for each and every person that was taken... Rather limited career section, most of the article is about the captivity. Person does not appear notable, I don't see how being one of several hundred kidnapped is notable. Oaktree b (talk) 00:19, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:GNG, suitable for a list entry, nothing more. Mztourist (talk) 05:38, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the article has received almost 332,000 pageviews. This is the one with the blood coming out of her pants, second only to killing of Killing of Shani Louk and possibly the Kidnapping of Noa Argamani in terms of impact on the public. Abductive (reasoning) 06:21, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Enormous interest in this person per above mention statistic. Well cited as well. Clearly notable from what I can tell. WP:GNG applies.BabbaQ (talk) 07:35, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the page happening to be created by a user who is a sockpuppet, or being created five months after the event happened is absolutely not good justification to propose deletion. Many pages, especially ones within WikiProject Crime, are created a while after the event happens for WP:SIGCOV and sustained coverage. This article has clearly proven that with sources from just a few days ago. Her kidnapping has been a topic of significant discussion (her page had 200k+ views last year) and should not be deleted. jolielover♥talk 11:01, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Levy is among most prominent of the hostages kidnapped by Hamas, and has been featured in articles in CNN, New York Times, BBC, Reuters, and numerous other media outlets. As the article notes, her kidnapping came to symbolize sexual and gender-based violence in the 7 October attacks, and feminist activists protesting sexual violence have dressed in bloodied sweatpants like those worn by Levy in the footage of her abduction. The page views speak to the enormous interest in her case.

Keep, the ongoing coverage from reliable sources shows that the topic is notable.-- Mike 🗩 14:00, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete does not pass NEVENT outside of the wider incident. PARAKANYAA (talk) 21:04, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Her family requested (and obtained) the cancellation of her page on the Hebrew Wikipedia - I presume for the sake of her privacy and right to be forgotten now that she has been released. I think that should be taken into account. --Potionkin (talk) 21:10, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
