Comment: with provisions) I don't see this being against WP:ONEVENT. That notability guideline "discourage Wikipedia from having separate articles on people playing minor roles in major events or major roles in minor events." His death was a major enough event if it is true that "The day after his death, 30,000 people followed Asel's body to the cemetery where it was buried"http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2000/10/07/asel/index.html (I'm skeptical of anythign from Salon personally). His death had spikes in coverage at the time, a couple years later after the inquiry, and passing mentions since then in the search for sources link in Google News shown above. That shows ongoing coverage from reliable sources of a national and international scope. That means that NOTNEWS is certainly questionable as reason for deletion. It appears that his death meets the General Notability Guidelines. Al that being said, the article should be retitled ("Death of Asel Asleh") since he was not notable but his death was. The scope of this article also needs to be his death and the background information should not over weight that (although sources do include his background to a decent extent it looks like) The article also needs sources to verify what ti is saying and a quick check for POV just to be on the safe side. If these things are not done then there may be enough concern to delete it per  (part of  which is mentioned as reasoning at

Comment: article creator). Significant, international sources have covered Asel the person and his death in detail. For example, "Asel is gone" in Salon, "Tribute to Asel Asleh" by Seeds of Peace, "The tragedy of Asel Asleh" in the Palestine-Israel Journalhttp://www.pij.org/details.php?id=895, http://www.adalah.org/newsletter/eng/sep05-s/cores.php from Adalah, http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9404EED61631F936A25755C0A9679C8B63&n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/Subjects/A/Arabs Police Killings of Israeli Arabs Being Questioned by Inquiry from the New York Times which covers Asel in detail.

Comment: The most applicable policy is , though it's not known whether his killing was a crime. Subject fails criterion #1 of this policy because he is clearly not notable for anything other than his death (TM's notion that he was independently notable as a peace activist is ludicrous). Also fails criterion #2 because the October 2000 events, while clearly notable, do not constitute a "historic event". Finally, fails  becuase the only reliable sources covering him as anything more than a detail in the events are precisely those sources that are not intellectually independent. Any useful material can and should be added to October 2000 events#2 October, but the article in its current version is too fundamentally afoul of  for a merge
