A terrorist mentioned only for his death in a drone attack in Pakistan. Fails WP:BLP1E, WP:BIO and WP:SIGCOV. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^Talk ^Email 15:04, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No coverage on the subject other than naming in a list of 30 militants killed by Drones. clearly fails WP:BLP1E and WP:GNG for an individual article. --DBig Xray 15:18, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New sources added only give trivial mention of death, example of WP:BOMBARD --DBig Xray 22:29, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:GNG. A one event occurence doesn't confer notability. --Artene50 (talk) 05:09, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- Al Tunisi was not a one event individual. RS document he is a veteran foreign volunteer who fought against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. That is a significant event. Almost all senior members of al Qaeda, including bin Laden, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and Zarqawi, were also fought against Afghanistan`s Soviet invaders. Being a volunteer doesn`t make one notable, in and of itself. But his ongoing role as a senior jihadist for over two decades, does. Geo Swan (talk) 12:51, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@Creator Geo Swan, there were 250,000 fighters against Soviets in Soviet war in Afghanistan and thousands of them were foreign mercenaries. The claim above does not prove notability by any stretch of imagination. If the person was as notable as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, or Zarqawi then the subject will itself get necessary WP:SIGCOV atleast in local media for his works, all he gets is a mention that he was killed. The comparison is clearly flawed.--DBig Xray 13:09, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Nothing has been done by this person to get notability. If fought a war which 250,000 people fought and being killed by a attack doesn't make him notable. →TSU ^tp* 14:49, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
