Hard to reconcile activist and journalist, which you'd think would be conflicting roles. Briefly kidnapped in Syria, escaped and returned home. Otherwise fails WP:GNG, leaving WP:ONEEVENT and with no enduring impact of said event. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 11:03, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rename: WP:ONEEVENT probably applies here, but it states "The general rule is to cover the event, not the person". Since the event is well covered and appears notable, the best option is to move to Kidnapping of Shiraaz Mohamed or similar. Greenman (talk) 17:07, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A renamed article about the event would have sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. MrsSnoozyTurtle 06:00, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rename as per above comments. This article is quite important as a popular news story. Renaming the article will make it even clearer(and passes WP:ONEEVENT), but this should definitely be kept. Timothytyy (talk) 08:11, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per Google search and references attach to the article, the subject is notable. Kasar Wuya (talk) 15:10, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
