Not notable, as the sources just indicate death. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 17:50, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:BLP1E. The sources warrant an article for the event, but not for the people involved. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 18:40, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. The event could have an article with information on al-Batawi included. Raphie (talk) 18:43, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Known for more than one event. See, for example, Militant leader among 12 caught in connection with Iraq church siege from November 2010. WWGB (talk) 00:13, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Islamic State of Iraq. Sources indicate no notability of his own other from being leader of that organization. PluniAlmoni (talk) 10:37, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WWGB. WP:BLP1E does not apply. ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 18:15, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article indicates strong significance, just because the event is detailed does not mean his life is that one event and thus the article. Zenithfel (talk) 16:54, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep figure of importance in major historic events, which will be part of the historical record--in. BLP obviously does not apply, and wouldn't even if he were still alive. The suggested merge is so drastic as to amount to deletion. DGG ( talk ) 04:57, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
