As noted by another user, coverage does not extend beyond arrest and legal consequences. Significant coverage implies that the subject has been featured in multiple sources over a period of time, contributing to a well-rounded biography.

Delete Fails to meet WP:GNG, WP:BIO. Individual is not notable. Syrianpoet94 (talk) 05:39, 17 March 2024 (UTC) Struck as confirmed sock of Peacefulparrot5, the nominator.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:26, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for abusive use of accounts. gidonb (talk) 14:50, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ The article fails to demonstrate the subject's notability beyond a single event that lacks significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable sources Peacefulparrot5 (talk) 05:41, 17 March 2024 (UTC) - Struck, Peacefulparrot5 is the nominator (unsigned).--Bbb23 (talk) 13:57, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lacks significant coverage proving notability. 199.111.212.39 (talk) 05:51, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the IP's 4th edit. gidonb (talk) 01:28, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ genereal lack of notability and fails criteria set on WP:GNG. Only noteable for a single event (arrest). Peacefulparrot5 (talk) 06:02, 17 March 2024 (UTC) - Struck.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:57, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to have accidentally voted twice. Would you be so kind as to strike your vote? FortunateSons (talk) 10:38, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FortunateSons, user also nominated the article ~~anonymously~~ without signing. I would not be surprised if all opinions above are by the same person. gidonb (talk) 01:28, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well that would be a gross violation of the rules. It would make sense based on the voting pattern, which is somewhat suspicious. FortunateSons (talk) 01:30, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It sure is a gross violation of our rules! gidonb (talk) 02:13, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge (selectively) into Israel–Lebanon relations#Alleged spying arrests in Lebanon, a target section that lacks detail and sources, and provides greater context to this affair. There is tons of coverage in Israel RS in 2008.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] One would assume that the Lebanese press was even before on the story. The international press picked it up in 2009.[9][10] The Israeli press didn't let go in 2009 either.[11][12][13][14] I did not see that the coverage was sustained beyond – maybe in Lebanon – yet the proposed ATD works in WP's benefit regardless of notability. gidonb (talk) 02:41, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per the arguments by Gidonb, we should merge to maintain valuable content insofar as it meets the requirements of RS. FortunateSons (talk) 10:41, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge its a plausible search term and Israel–Lebanon relations#Alleged spying arrests in Lebanon is an appropriate merge target. Ben Azura (talk) 08:21, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
