Abdel Hadi al-Tunsi

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There is only one source relied on by this article. Additionally, if the only material on the subject in that source is that he was an alleged member of a terrorist group and was believed to be recruited by someone notable, that is clearly not significant coverage in reliable sources per WP:BIO.

Keep, the one source is quite definitive he was a member, I use the words "alleged" because I always use terms like "alleged", even if there are 1,500 sources saying "X killed Y". The one source is the one book I happened to have in my hand at the time, but considering al-Tunsi has been mentioned from the 1980s to today...I'd say he was a central figure in the group, even if not in English-media.

Comment, also note here that "Abdul Haddi al-Tunisi" is in Guantanamo Bay...though that can hardly be used as evidence to include in the WP article at this time. Just pointing out, the differing transliterations Abdul/Abdel/Abd-al/Abd-el Hadi/Haddi/el-Haddi/al-Haddi Tunsi/Tunisi/al-Tunsi/al-Tunisi do make it difficult, but what we do know is that he was an EIJ member of some importance...and the rest will have to wait more than 24 hours from the article's creation to be fleshed out.

Keep per Sheru.--Epeefleche (talk) 23:51, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for failing WP:N. Just being a member of a notable (and fairly large) group does not confer notability. The article says literally nothing more than "Abdel Hadi al-Tunsi was an alleged member of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. He was believed to be recruited into the group by Muhammad al-Zawahiri." If the sourced material says nothing more than that, then that is just not enough content for a separate article dedicated to this person. Sandstein 07:17, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
