Fails WP:BIO, a self-published source cited 8 times, another source repeatedly found to be unreliable at RS/N (Arutz Sheva) cited twice more and an interview in an online magazine does not notability make. Can find zero mention of this person in mainstream reliable sources. Nableezy 03:27, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

  • Comment I went to Google's Israeli site, hoping to find the spelling of Mr. Satri's name in Hebrew to help find additional sources (as I've done at other AfDs). Instead, I found page after page of results, hundreds of websites with identical content. In English. "'I receive regular threats from both Arab Israelis and Palestinians, via social media and by phone,' said Mahdi Satri, 17, a resident of Jadeidi-Makr, east of Acre." Almost like somebody has spammed his story all over the web. Very disappointing. I didn't find a single page about him in Hebrew. Nor anything resembling original reporting. Perhaps an editor in Israel can find some local coverage, because I had hoped to and wasn't able to. I'm withholding judgment for now, but this is starting to smell like a hoax to me. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 04:13, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
CommentI didn't find anything in Hebrew. Also I searched by the village name and nothing pops up in local news. So, I guess as for now it's a one time news event. BTW, hundreds of website with identical content may be an outcome of some article published by Reuters or similar news agency. Their articles are being copied over and over again with the same content. It's like a stock for articles for sites, that do not have their own journalists.

Comment Here's an Algemeiner story about him, where they interviewed him, not copy paste from other sites: http://www.algemeiner.com/2016/07/24/arab-israeli-teen-fearful-yet-undeterred-by-threats-from-fellow-muslims-palestinians-for-outspoken-zionism-know-that-i-died-a-dreamer-interview/ Sir Joseph 13:42, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
That is in the article already, and it is the only source that is even slightly indicative of notability. It isn't enough. Zero 13:44, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

*Delete at the moment. Merge for now into Muslim_supporters_of_Israel. Unfortunately, he can get to local news if something happens to him. For now, I didn't find anything in Hebrew. His story can be an interesting part is someone will be up to task to expand Muslim_supporters_of_Israel#Acceptance_of_Israel_among_Israeli_Arabs. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 12:14, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

A merge would require some actual reliable third-party sources about this person. All that exists about the supposed subject of this article is an interview in which the supposed subject makes unsubstantiated and self-aggrandizing claims. There is nothing in this article that belongs anywhere on Misplaced Pages. Im not even sure this person exists. nableezy - 15:43, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
The Algemeiner has an interview with him. Sir Joseph 15:49, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
Ya, Im aware that Algemeiner has published an interview with somebody with this story. I cant find any type of verification for anything the person that gives this story anywhere. You would think such an unusual set of events would be in more well-known sources like the Jerusalem Post, or the Times of Israel, Yedioth Ahronoth. But its not. Its a NY based web magazine that has an interview with somebody who says they are in Israel. Funny how that works out. nableezy - 16:23, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
  • Keep Appears to be a group of anti-Israel pro-Palestine editors wikiwashing a story that has gained traction in pro-israeli news sources. Bolter21 believes that the use of criminal murder of a sleeping child as a terrorist tactic condemned by US state department is "not notable". Malik Shabazz says video of a Afghan youth pledging allegience to Islamist terrorist organization is not evidence of a religious motivated terrorist attack. Nableezy also has a long history of deleting content which defames terrorists or supports counter-terrorism efforts. Excluding pro-Israel sources violates the spirit of NPOV which is include all views, not delete the politically incorrect views of a topic. To doubt the very existence of the person shows further bias against the subject Bachcell (talk) 16:06, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
Wtf are you babbling about? What pro-Israel source are people excluding? nableezy - 16:23, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
Nableezy, please stay civil. Debresser (talk) 16:58, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
