Talk:Hussam Abdo

message: I am confused by this sentence:
 Hussam, Abdo's brother, said that Abdo possesses the intelligence of a twelve year old.
Should this be "Hussam Abdo's brother", or does he have a brother also named Hussam???  Please clarify Ddddan 17:39, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: I'm sure this kid deserves reference in other articles (That's how I found out about him) but I don't think there's anything particularly important about this particular individual that warrants his own article. Elijahmeeks 19:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Its notable. See the external links. Its up to you if you want more people to know about this topic. Thats what an AfD will do. I'll start putting in some more links for notability. He made "international headlines". I think that might pass for notability, dont you agree? --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 21:45, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really, with the number of news sources in the world today, international headlines just ain't what they used to be.  Wikipedia's got 1.7 million articles and enough junk on Simpsons side-characters, so I don't think this is particularly non-notable, but the fact that it's a living person and that the kid is more important for what he represents than who he is persuaded me to post the notability tag.  The two of us won't make much of a consensus, but I'm in no hurry to AfD, unless you'd rather do it to get a yea/nay on the notability tag. Elijahmeeks 22:56, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You can AfD it, but it will result in more people knowing about this issue and the article being improved. If you think he's still not notable after I added some of the EL links and refs, feel free to put back the notice. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 23:04, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, I hadn't noticed that you'd removed the notability tag, I sort of expected that to occur after a discussion, and not as a result of fiat.  I tell you what, I'm removing this article from my watchlist, you have successfully peed me out of your territory.  Elijahmeeks 02:08, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, please put the tag back in. The article will be improved. Its true, that does happen. If you think he's not notable, put it back in. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 03:14, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Notability

message: seems we got a discrepency with the year of birth, hebrew article states the age as 14, channel 2 states it at 14.5, the AOL film, states it as 15... and the year 1987 would make him at either 16 or 17 at the time of the event. for now, i've listed him at the higher of the initial 3 options (15), as an "appeasing" middle way version.

thread_title: Dubious

message: This article isn't too clear about what happened to Abdo after his attempted attack failed. It says he was in an Israeli jail in 2004, and was still imprisoned in 2006, so I assume he was tried and convicted. There doesn't seem to have been any updates since 2006, though - is he still in prison today, or was he released? Robofish (talk) 21:28, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
