Another "JSS...." educational establishment article wth appalling sourcing, dead links, a job advert, and directory entries. The NIR sources are meant to verify some sort of performance comparator, but are 404 errors.

Delete. His Google Scholar profile is no better. No pass of WP:PROF#C1 and (with such a junior position) no other WP:PROF criterion is evident or likely. There are no in-depth reliable independent sources so WP:GNG is also out of reach. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:15, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
Strong delete. He is an MD candidate with nothing notable, many years WP:TOOSOON since, as David says, he is far from any of the notability criteria. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:16, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Delete. Not notable at this time. No WP:SIGCOV to prove notability. The article cites mostly primary sources. Prof.PMarini (talk) 12:50, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

2024 Gaza Strip polio epidemic

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

Basically a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of Gaza humanitarian crisis.

More importantly, off all the given sources, only a single one (The National) uses the term "epidemic" in its own voice, with 2 more quoting the Gaza Health Ministry's declaration of an epidemic. RS hasn't been using the term epidemic (probably because as of now there haven't been any confirmed cases yet. There are strong fears of a coming epidemic, and polio has been found in the sewage, but thankfully no infections). At the very least the article needs to be considerably shortened, and name changed to "Polio discoveries" or something. Violates Crystal Ball. It's also not being (significantly) covered by RS on its own, but rather as part of the broader crisis. Hydromania (talk) 03:44, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Redirect to Gaza humanitarian crisis - Wouldn't be opposed to recreating the article later if more sources begin to call the Polio issue an epidemic, but a redirect would suffice for right now. Jdcomix (talk) 13:33, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
~~Delete~~ per nom. Redirecting the current title if the term "epidemic" is not being used by multiple reliable sources would violate WP:NDESC. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:17, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Merge with Gaza humanitarian crisis. My first impression is that we should probably redirect. Now to read with care... Yeah, merge with Gaza humanitarian crisis. Darkfrog24 (talk) 21:24, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Move or merge. There are plenty of reliable sources with significant coverage, so deleting it isn’t warranted. If kept, a move or rename to 2024 Gaza Strip polio outbreak or the like would be appropriate. I don’t oppose the merger, however the main article could get filled with a lot of more important and less important trivia; see what happened at one time to Palestinian law. Bearian (talk)

keep - and expand. Could be broadened to "infectious diseases outbreaks" instead of just polio, but it warrants its own coverage separate from starvation and other issues. FourPi (talk) 12:08, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
keep per https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/8/16/israel-war-on-gaza-live-children-killed-in-israeli-attack-on-jabalia-camp, https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/8/16/un-chief-calls-for-polio-pause-in-gaza-war-to-tackle-virus and FourPi. Pachu Kannan (talk) 02:13, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
That Al Jazeera article does not use the term "Polio Epidemic" in its own voice. Hydromania (talk) 06:24, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
Gaza humanitarian crisis is a redirect (it should appear as a green link) so it won't be possible to redirect or merge to it. So you might want to look at ITS target article. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:00, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
Keep - and rename article without using the term 'epidemic', as there is no metric that describes a cluster of three cases as an epidemic. My preference is to use the term 'cases' or 'outbreak' as per Bearian's reasoning and suggestion on 16 August 2024 immediately before AfD was relisted. AllPurposeScientist^blah 11:01, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- I should add that I generally agree with the original reasoning 2 weeks ago, but the situation appears to be more clearly defined now. AllPurposeScientist^blah 11:05, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
Redirect to Gaza humanitarian crisis - there is no epidemic of polio in Gaza, and none of the sources used in the article describe the situation as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boston UnCommon (talk • contribs) 14:15, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Redirect to Gaza humanitarian crisis. There still appears to be a single case confirmed in reliable sources. The only group claiming an "epidemic" is the unreliable Gaza Health Ministry, and an "outbreak" of one can easily be contained in another article. Seeing that the article title has already been changed, I am revising my !vote to redirect. Dclemens1971 (talk) 20:05, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

As stated above, Gaza humanitarian crisis is not a possible target article because it is not an article, it is a Redirect. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:35, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
On the topic of which, should this discussion be moved to the current page name 2024 Gaza Strip polio outbreak? I don't know who moved it or when, but there don't seem to have been any objections to the name change and I don't object either, outbreak is what the sources say. FourPi (talk) 02:40, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

That seems like a technicality. We could redirect to Gaza humanitarian crisis (2023–present), which is what Gaza humanitarian crisis redirects to Boston UnCommon (talk) 14:02, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
Fine, Gaza humanitarian crisis (2023-present). Dclemens1971 (talk) 23:47, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Keep and expand - It is not a fork or redundant, it's a subtopic that needs expanding. We should also start a page with an overview of the multiple other infectious disease problems in Gaza that currently aren't covered much on other pages, if this needs merging it would be into that, but that currently doesn't exist. FourPi (talk) 02:36, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
You already voted once, why are you voting again? Boston UnCommon (talk) 13:59, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
Move the content to draft for now and redirect the title to Gaza humanitarian crisis (2023–present). If there are more than a handful of additional cases reported, however, there should be an article at this title. I base this opinion on my own work as creator of articles including the 1916 New York City polio epidemic, 1990–1991 Philadelphia measles outbreak, 2018 United States adenovirus outbreak, 2019–2020 dengue fever epidemic‎, 2019 New York measles outbreak, and 2019 United States hepatitis A outbreak‎.
