[edit] Yisroel Valis

Yisroel Valis (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Fails to assert notability: domestic murder (or suspected murder) of a baby is a tragic situation, but hardly an uncommon one. The whole article appears to have sprung from a polemical essay at a blog. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 19:02, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - agree with nominator, although I strongly feel that mention of this incident should be made in an article such as 2008 in Israel, 2008 in Israeli crime (which can be created), or something similar. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 21:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree it could have a place in some appropriate article - e.g. if it has some demonstrable broader notability concerning the relationship between Israeli secular criminal law and Halakha. Simply as a criminal case over a baby's death, it doesn't merit inclusion. (It was in 2006 BTW). Gordonofcartoon (talk) 22:26, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete might merit mention in article on relationship between Haredim and Israeli government. (Would be nice if it could be as construed as sequel to VALIS.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yudel (talk • contribs) 19:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete NN, not copyvio, but some sentences copied from [1]. --Shuki (talk) 20:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable. The article seems to be a coatrack for disenting views among factions in Israeli society. Steve Dufour (talk) 02:57, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
