[edit] Rania Siam

does not assert significance. While obviously tragic, Siam's death is no more significant than the hundreds of children killed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since the last intifada began in 2000. Pan Dan 19:59, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I see that user Alberuni has created many articles each devoted entirely to a Palestinian child victim of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Examples include Rania Iyad Aram, Iman Darweesh Al Hams, and Ghadeer Jaber Mkheemar. While every death is tragic, it is ridiculous to have a wikipedia article devoted to each one. Perhaps a list of child victims of the Israel-Palestinian conflict, or something like that, could be created instead of one article per child.Pan Dan 20:18, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

(As I am a newly registered user, and Alberuni's talk page is protected, I am not able to notify him/her that the article he/she created is being considered for deletion. Maybe a kind passerby will do that for me. Thanks.)Pan Dan 20:21, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, while that's sad, a child getting killed in the Middle East isn't notable. --Huon 21:19, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Sadly, there have been and will be so many children killed or injured by this war and others, that they are not individually notable from a world-wide perspective. There have been exceptional cases, but I don't think this one is. Wikipedia is not a place for memorials. Rohirok 21:25, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. :) Dlohcierekim 02:33, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Civilan casualty of military dispute. Only counts as one coverage per WP:BIO. Ohconfucius 06:53, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete all, biographies that do not assert notabily can be speedied. Use the template {{db-bio}}. Jon513 14:35, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
OK. Since the debate on Rania Siam is underway, I suppose it is appropriate to wait until it's over, and then Speedy-delete the other bios.Pan Dan 17:50, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
