Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ouze Merham
Multiple citations from six separate sources. CAMERA is as valid as site as CAIR when it comes to montioring the press of their ideological targets. We have used CAIR as a sources, IIRC, so CAMERA should be no different. CAMERA is not the only source, either, so we have multiple citations from multiple sources. This is as, if not more, notable than any porn actor or actress we have, as it was a hoax perpetrated by certain ideological groups to portray their “enemy” in as bad light as possible, similar to the anti-semitic cartoons of the blood-sucking sharon etc. I can see merit to adding "hoax" to the article, but I see no merit in its deletion. Also, the volume of results on Factiva are not measures of notability in wikipedia, multiple citations from multiple reliable sources are. As per : "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" Presumed means that personal viewpoints must be checked at the door, so please leave any pro/anti Israel/Arab stuff out of this discussion. "Significant coverage" means that the subject is discussed directly in the sources. The daily illini quotations, the CAMERA quotations, the Australian Broadcasting Company, and the Jewish Press all serve to fill this criteria. "Reliable" is obvious, and the daily illini quotes and the Jewish press have been considered reliable numerous times in the past.As I said, CAMERA should have the same reliability that CAIR does, but even if you wish to follow that path (and that would mean a potential violation of the "Presumed" clause - for why would you otherwise differentiate between CAMERA and CAIR. Has one proven to have lied in the past?) The others more than suffice. "Sources" - we have multiple. "Independant of the subject" None of these sources are related to Ariel Sharon or the Arab papers that perpetrated the lie/hoax. So we have the textbook definition of notability. Not as notable as George Bush, perhaps, but as notable as Don Murphy in the grand scheme of things
