Keep. There was significant coverage before his death and even after with recent articles still mentioning his name. I understand
Brandmeister reasoning but I don't see it being applicable in this case. There's enough coverage for this page to remain up.

Delete Of the references currently in the article, none are coverage prior to his death. I haven't found any prior sigcov so far that would establish a
WP:GNG pass prior to his death but am open to changing my vote should such coverage be produced. Best,

Keep (weak) and move to
Death of Alim Abdallah. Sources in the article show this meets GNG as an event; as a BIO, it is
WP:BIO1E, but this guides to write an article about the event. This often occurs with 1E bios. I think the Haaretz, Xinhua, plus
[1],
[2],
[3],
[4],
[5] are the sources that I think can sustain an EVENT article. There is a legitimate question of WP:LASTING, but I think the international level of coverage cancels this out and WP:NOTTEMPORARY applies. //

Move to
Death of Alim Abdallah as Timothy suggested above - there are sources, but they are about the guy's death i.e. the event, not the person.
Comment. Some of the participants here claim that Abdallah was not covered prior to his death. Such claims should not be counted as the sources from 2022 are right in the article.

Move to
Death of Alim Abdallah. I have struck my previous delete !vote and changed to move as TimothyBlue suggested above. The event has much greater claim to notability compared to the person - I would expect
WP:VICTIM to apply. The delete votes however remain correct - the coverage prior to the event of his death does not appear to sufficiently demonstrate notability. The 2022 coverage appears to constitute 2 sources; one of which is a passing mention (
[6]) and the second offer appears to be a brief 3 sentence profile which appears to be routine local coverage
[7]. Resonant
