The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Keep. WP:SNOWBALL. Even if the video turns out to be a fake "unverifiable video by an anonymous anti-government user of a social networking site", it is undoubtedly notable -- the coverage is not limited to a few fringe publications or one day. No need to keep showing an ugly deletion notice to thousands of Wikipedia readers. utcursch | talk 02:09, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

-- Give these people a voice. Give this woman the voice that she gave her very life for!!! Strong keep -- I can't help but think that those who are denying the reality of this gruesome act and suggest deleting it have some despicable agenda. To those who deny this video's circumstances, I say that I have see the video that shows Neda and her father right before the shooting peacefully watching the events in front of them. The video shows the yelling and screaming and police fighting the people. It's shameful to suggest that she does not deserve to be a permanent entry in Wikipedia. She is an important part of the history of Iran struggle. Tyrion18 (talk) 01:14, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

-- and improve as information becomes available. Rabourn (talk) Strong delete --unverifiable video by an anonymous anti-government user of a social networking site - hardly qualifies as a reputable source. The mainstream media coverage is all secondary to this one source. Little Professor (talk) 23:23, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

DO NOT DELETE. We are posting information as quickly as we can get it and are working to verify the sources. Please do not let her deathe be in vain —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.99.224.84 (talk) 00:26, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

"Do not delete." -- She had a name, a passport and the facts of her death which have galvanized a nation and saddened the world will be verified. Document history; do not erase it." LisaHenderson06 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:01, 21 June 2009 (UTC).

Do not delete. -- i believe it is very important to keep this entry. 1) this is verifiable; once media is allowed in again, her father and other witnesses can be interviewed, etc. 2) this is a very important event in a larger important event. encyclopedias document important events, deleting this entry would serve no purpose. due to the nature of Iranian traditions for mourning (3rd, 7th, and 40th day after death, info from time.com) there will probably be more events related to what happened to her. Also, her name "Neda" has become a rallying cry. We dont know what might happen 10 years from now, but there's a possibility that she will become a relatively important figure. Students writing reports over this "green revolution" may want to refer to information about her. Do not delete this entry. 17:40, 21 June 2009 talk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.213.19.125

[edit conflict] Please be civil. There are/were valid concerns over how verifiable this information is. That was even more true at the time this article was first nominated for deletion. A vote for deletion is by no means an attempt to belittle a person, life, or movement. That said, it may be time to accelerate the process of closing this nomination. I think there is a very clear consensus for keep - even if one were to only look at the discussion by experienced editors. --Aranae (talk) 02:07, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Suggesting a snowball keep at this point--- if any admin agrees, please close the discussion now. Shii (tock) 02:00, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
