| *'''Delete''' Being accredited is something every journalist has to do in Israel. It merely means that the official government body is satisfied that the person being accredited is a journalist. It does not imply any approval/disapproval by the government of the journalist. The INA is a small, insignificant body. In a news hungry country, 99% of people have never heard of it. ] 11:20, 25 May 2006 (UTC) | |||

- Being listed on Google News is not very difficult and probably not enough to make something "notable" by our standards. The Alexa ranking is low and there are few unique Google hits. No reliable sources are presented for the information in the article. Currently it seems to me that the article doesn't qualify for inclusion, but I'm willing to be convinced if evidence to the contrary is presented. Haukur 21:55, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- How is notability being measured in this case? Are we applying WP:WEB, or another standard? Þorgeirsson states that getting listed on Google News is a rather trivial task; how does one accomplish this? For the moment, I am leaning toward keep due to its frequent citation by the press, but am open to discussion. Silensor 00:38, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, while it would have been better for another user to have been the initial author, that is not a requirement. Notability and NPOV are requirements. WP:WEB includes as criteria #3 "The content is distributed via a site which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster." Google news is certainly well known and independent of the creator. I didn't find in my review proof that they were picked up by Google News, but this search for articles from them shows that they are picked up. 02:26, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. Just for the record, with regard to issues discussed in the previous AfD, the Israel News Agency is not a government-controlled press agency in Israel, just a private entity, and it is not even the leading press agency in Israel -- that would be Itim which Misplaced Pages doesn't yet have an article about. The Israel News Agency appears to be a relatively small operation although the Google News connection should be considered a point in its favor. --Metropolitan90 04:22, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
