Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aaron Maté
Fails WP:GNG and . Even the sources cited acknowledge the rather fringe nature of Maté's work. For example, the ''Vanity Fair'' piece—quoted in the article for describing him as a "polite but dogged skeptic" who is notable for an interview he did—does so within the context of a full paragraph of commentators and bloggers "who were ignored for much of this stretch". The strongest argument for notability seems to be the documentary from 18 years ago, where he is one of three subjects. If that is significant enough, it might be added to the Concordia University Netanyahu riot itself, but the journalistic career of Maté doesn't seem to justify a standalone article. His two cited appearances—for about 90 and 180 seconds, respectively—on The Hill's morning TV and a smattering of one- or two-line references elsewhere do not seem to show that he is "{{tq|regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors}}". The UN testimony is not a strong indicator in this case, either; the wording of the article makes it sound like a formal hearing or meeting of a UN body, but it was an Arria formula meeting. Accordingly, the only coverage of it seems to be from Maté himself on Grayzone plus a handful of other far-left sites
