Objection to deletion[edit]

This is an unusual, prominent and famous event. And in addition, the event was recorded in a photograph. A man who protected several people with his bare hands and was killed in the process. He is considered a "hero" in Israel. And he was talked about a lot in the Israeli media.[1][2][3][4][5][6] [7][8][9] Eladkarmel (talk) 15:08, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Change "Shapira reportedly attempted to inspire hope for th hose in the shelter, by telling them that the Isreal military would arrive soon. Shapira stood closer to the exit, telling those who were next to him that of the shelter was attacked by militants or grenades, he would throw the grenades back." to "Shapira reportedly attempted to inspire hope for those in the shelter by telling them that the Israeli military would arrive soon. Shapira stood near the exit, telling those next to him that if the shelter was attacked by militants or grenades, he would throw the grenades back." Corrects grammar & spelling.

Aner ShapiraDeath of Aner Shapira – This is a classic one-event biography. I think that the event is notable, but not the person. I suggest renaming the page to reflect this. Other similar(ish) pages in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war_hostage_were similarly renamed. Mason (talk) 01:03, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - per nom and WP:1E. Notability overall is questionable, but alas that would be a discussion for AfD. estar8806 (talk) 01:33, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alternative “Killing of” would be more appropriate per the use by RS. FortunateSons (talk) 12:36, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm equally fine with "Killing" versus "Death". Mason (talk) 21:27, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what media can be added to a page, but this Times of Israel article includes a photo taken by someone from inside the shelter.

The video is also included in that article. It originated from the "South First Responders" Telegram page, who gave permission for it to be reproduced, if that is something that can be then uploaded.

It also may be worth adding that the dashcam video came from the car of a man named Osama Abu Assa, who can be seen outside the shelter at the start of the video. His murder was also very prominent in Israel, and while not prominent for its own Wikipedia page, that makes me think it may be worth mentioning him by name.

Abu Assa's dashcam footage is talked about in this NBC article, this YNET article mentions how Abu Assa tried to save the kids in the shelter, begging terrorists to leave them alone and how, according to survivors, Abu Assa told the individuals in the shelter not to speak Hebrew in his attempt to defend them.

This times of Israel write upalso cites a New York Times article, but I'm unable to find it -- perhaps someone more skilled than me can do so.

Since the article seems up for deletion due to its notability, to emphasize that Aner's murder was notable in Israeli society, in addition to connecting to Osama Abu Assa, may be worth mentioning that Aner's music was released after his death and has been well received in Israel: This Times of Israel article covers the release and has another photo from inside the shelter.
