Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jewish Israeli stone throwing
the nomination is defective.  The nomination alleges that «The incidents listed in the article have nothing in common, certainly not a common topic. '''Moreover they are sourced to news reports''' merely show that stones were thrown».  This is incorrect.  The article is not based on "news reports."  Currently the article cites the following nine books:1. Book: Bethell, Nicholas (1979). ''The Palestine Triangle''.2. Book: Nachman Ben-Yehuda, ''Theocratic Democracy: The Social Construction of Religious and Secular Extremism''3. Book: Samuel C. Heilman, ''Defenders of the Faith: Inside Ultra-Orthodox Jewry''4. Book: W. Gordon Lawrence, ''Tongued with Fire: Groups in Experience''5. Book:Roger Friedland; Richard Hecht (2000). ''To Rule Jerusalem.''6. Book: Jonathan Boyarin, ''Palestine and Jewish History: Criticism at the Borders of Ethnography'' 7. Book:  Nora L. Rubel, ''Doubting the Devout: The Ultra-Orthodox in the Jewish American Imagination'' 8. Book: Lev Luis Grinberg, ''Politics and Violence in Israel/Palestine: Democracy Versus Military Rule'' 9. Book: Adam LeBor, City of Oranges: ''Arabs and Jews in Jaffa''Furthermore, the article cites the following government, non-governmental organization books, and scholarly articles, which are not news:1. Government: U.S. Govm't Printing Office, ''Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2009''2. NGO: Human Rights Watch, ''Center of the Storm: A Case Study of Human Rights Abuses in Hebron District'' 3. Scholarly Journal: Journal of Israeli History: Politics, Society, Culture, Volume 24, Issue 1, 2005; Benny Morris, ''The Historiography of Deir Yassin''There are, in addition, 27 citations from news sources.  News sources should not be disparaged.  News sources are routinely cited on Wikipedia articles.  The sources on this article come from unquestionable , such as the ''Jewish Telegraphic Agency'', ''The Los Angeles Times'', the ''Jerusalem Post'', ''Haaretz'', the ''Times of Israel'', etc.In conclusion, we have a defective nomination which does not withstand an examination of the actual sources
