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.

Palestine

Eliminate Hamas and bring the hostages home

Eliminate Hamas and bring the hostages home (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:GNG. I have been unable to find anything that establishes that this political slogan is independently notable. A search in Hebrew yields no results, and the Arabic yields two results that do not suggest it is notable. There are more results for 'bring them home', but that is not a phrase solely attributed to Netanyahu or the Israeli position. As for a policy position, it is simply too vague a title. Other than the fact the slogan lacks independent notability, the actual content of the article deviates into other issues that are already covered by numerous other articles at Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip, Gaza war hostage crisis, and Gaza war protests. This is a contentious topic, and I considered it inappropriate to PROD. Local Variable (talk) 03:46, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Article is almost a complete duplication of Palestinian right of armed resistance. Green Montanan (talk) 06:53, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

• Delete or possibly redirect. It's not really covering anything different and is clearly at least partly an unnecessary cut and paste of content from another page. JMWt (talk) 12:25, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
• Note: I tried to redirect the page, but was challenged with the challenging editor requesting a discussion. Green Montanan (talk) 12:32, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
• Redirect or Delete. We don't need another fork for the POV warriors to fight over. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 18:44, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
• Redirect to Palestinian right of armed resistance because it is a commonly used expression among certain political circles and is thus worth keeping as a redirect. Yue🌙 06:05, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Redirect as a fork, outright deletion doesn't make sense 🇪🇭 Easternsahara U T C 23:04, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Upon reviewing and analyzing the content, it is clear that the article does not meet the required standards. The individual does not exhibit clear distinction, diversity, or uniqueness in any specific field.

Participation in an economic forum or a workshop alone does not necessarily reflect uniqueness or fulfill the necessary criteria.

In terms of political involvement, merely running on a legislative election list, without achieving success or gaining notable recognition, is not sufficient to classify the individual as distinguished or as meeting the required standards. — Osama Eid ^(talk) 13:32, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
