Mr. Peled sounds like a non-notable general in an important conflict. No sources. Very limited information. I don't know how far this article can go. -- Ben 18:34, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - For sure. Looks like a sitch of failing WP:BIO. Remember, notability is not inherited. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (tαlk) 19:15, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep but needs sources to establish notability. A Google search indicates several sources showing he commanded forces that played non-trivial roles in the Six-Day War[1][2] and the division he commanded retains his name. The article may exist because of this. In short I'm not ready to summarily dismiss.--Dhartung | Talk 20:47, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I agree that merely being a general does not confer automatic notability. But [3] , while maybe not a reliable source, is an encyclopedia of the 6 day war, and indicates that his troops played a significant role in the war. I strongly expect that there are print sources in Israel which can be used to expand the present article. This is not like some 15th century officer about whom no sources are likely to be found. Most generals who command combat troops in modern wars get praise or criticism from the papers, and are written about in the books written after the fact. Edison 22:11, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Be aware that experiencefestival.com is a Mirror of Wikipedia, and that's our article Six Day War, which indeed links back to the article under discussion. --Dhartung | Talk 00:10, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. According to this, Peled was "...a major general, commander of the National Defense College, one of the founders of Israel Television, director general of the Education Ministry and the deputy mayor of Jerusalem." Also, as far as I can tell, a major general is the second highest rank in the IDF. Clarityfiend 22:27, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep Individual seems notable and sources do seem to exist, but no assertion of notability or sources are in the article. Alansohn 03:17, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Maybe needs a re-write but notability is established.--Bedivere 21:04, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
