OK, remove it if you want. I'm sure others will come upon the article and judge for themselves. Enigmamessage
Keep Flatow has been in the news repeatedly in relation to the case Flatow v. Islamic Republic of Iran and efforts to recover damages from Iran. Many more reliable and verifiable sources are available to expand the article, but the article satisfies the
Wikipedia:Notability standard as is.

I don't think it does. She herself hasn't been the subject of reliable sources, only her death and events her family were involved in after her death. RamiR11:58, 8 October 2008 (UTC)reply
Merge and delete - this is as
WP:BIO1E as it gets. I mean, her birth date isn't even mentioned, only her death date. The only note-worthy information I see is about Flatow v. Iran, and that can be trivially introduced to the
Egged bus 36 bombing article. RamiR11:58, 8 October 2008 (UTC)reply
Keep. Oodles of coverage for this person, and there's a fricking school named after her - that alone ought to be a sufficient indicium of notability! -- Ynot?20:02, 8 October 2008 (UTC)reply
Keep. The question is not whether it is a good article or even a Start-level article. The article needs to be beefed up. But the questions in an AfD based on non-notability are, is the subject notable and is the notability asserted in the article. The article says this person is the subject of a $200+ million judgment against another country, and has a school named after her. I would say that lifts her above the common non-notable rabble.

Merge. This is a clear one-event entry. With all due respect for the subject, and sympathy to the family, there is nothing notable about being a bombing victim, or, if the bombing is terrorism, receiving a large award in a US court (not every one of the
Lockerbie disaster victims who sued in US courts is notable despite meeting that criterion). Likewise, having a school named in one's honor is not any indicator of notability at all.
