Deletion of Abelhaleem Hasan Abdelraziq Ashqar

Comment: A rather easy one, actually, once you get the right keywords for searching (which would be Ashqar+Virginia+Hamas, Ashqar+Virginia+President - loads and loads of news items, book hits and journal articles). The subject is clearly not a BLP1E, as he is a public figure who ran to replace Yasser Arafat as Palestinian Authority president (see - 2005 Palestinian presidential election) - and he got 2.76% of the vote (Hamas did not run officially - an outside US figure made this run possible). https://www.aljazeera.com/archive/2003/12/200849144251319755.html In depth Al-Jazeera profile from 2003. The electoral run was covered in http://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2004/12/03/va-man-certified-as-candidate-to-replace-arafat/3984a9a6-5b30-4570-9884-ea022ba1dbbb/ Washington Post as well as elsewhere. The subsequent criminal case, which ended in a conviction and jail time, clearly meets  with rather significant and sustained national and international level coverage: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN12260818, https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-2004-08-24-0408240392-story.html, https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2006-11-17-0611170401-story.html, http://www.nbcnews.com/id/5770736/ns/us_news-security/t/three-accused-financing-hamas-plans/#.XNre5RQzaUl, https://www.jta.org/2004/08/23/archive/hamas-indictment-shows-justice-using-rico-laws-to-fight-terrorism, https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-aug-21-na-hamas21-story.html, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-indicts-3-for-hamas-ties/, https://www.nysun.com/national/life-sentence-urged-in-hamas-funding-case/62261/, https://www.apnews.com/19428a8efbe7fcc90e40bf689714efd4, http://archive.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2007/01/09/student_was_terrorist_prosecutor_says/?rss_id=Boston.com+%252F+News. Coverage in https://books.google.co.il/books?id=CG-AjU3rraQC&printsec=frontcover#v=snippet&q=al-Ashqar&f=false this book. The criminal case itself definitely passes NCRIME (so even if this were a BLP1E - this would be a rename at best), however given that the subject here has been profiled and covered also in contexts other than the criminal case a standalone bio here makes sense
