Speedy keep Per Wikipedia:Speedy_keep, nominator fails to advance an argument for deletion (or not one I can make sense of, anyway). Tonywalton ^Talk 23:22, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Born in Israel, studied in Israel, Artist in residance in Israel, still living in Israel... --Eingangskontrolle (talk) 06:46, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Clear keep, no good reason to delete, largely nonsensical deletion rationale (although I understand this is often the case with OTRS requests). Hairhorn (talk) 17:23, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. By "nominator" I mean the OTRS submitter, not User:Ronhjones. I'm not shooting the messenger. Tonywalton ^Talk 01:14, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. If the artist does not wish to be associated with Israel, having her Wikipedia article deleted won't help a whole lot. Drmies (talk) 18:41, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Tonywalton and Zero000. --Al Ameer son (talk) 21:36, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep But please note that Shibli identifies as Palestinian according to RS. Some editors seem to be resisting this self-description as for example here. A BLP should show deference to sources and self-identification as reported by those sources. Help implementing our policies at this article is welcome. Tiamut^talk 17:48, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
