Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Muntadar al-Zaidi
to George W. Bush. This incident deserves mention, but I don't see anything that makes Mr al Zaidi notable enough for his own article. Yes, he's a journalist. Yes, he's been kidnaped. If we had an article for every journalist and every person who's been kidnaped, Wikipedia would be huge! He can be mentioned by every newspaper in the world (and probably has), but if it's for the same thing, then it's still . He's not much more notable than Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jonathon Ware|the "I like turtles" boy. (Yes, I know I !voted to keep that article.) If Mr al Zaidi throws his shoes at someone else famous, then by all means recreate the article
