Contested deletion
editThis article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because Avital Leibovich occupied a key, public-facing post in the IDF for two decades. Since the IDF spokesperson's division is the public face of the IDF, Avital Leibovich has been quoted by numerous major journalistic entities in multiple languages from all over the world. The Wikipedia:Notability (people) policy states that a person should be "worthy of notice" such that they are "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded". Clearly, entities which serve as reputable sources (news agencies, government documents, etc.) have seen fit to record and chronicle her work. I believe that this satisfies the criteria. Even without this public exposure, other Lt. Colonels in the IDF have their own articles, including Emmanuel Moreno, Yeshayahu Yerushalmi and Amos Yarkoni. To continue, Lt. Colonels from other military organizations have their own articles including George Monro (British Army officer) and Henry Howard (British Army officer), the latter of whom has actually been dead for over 250 years. With these in light, we can reason that Avital Leibovich also satisfies the criteria set forth in WP:MILPEOPLE since Avital Leibovich "Played an important role in a significant military event" by functioning as the person to whom those interested in a variety of IDF conflicts asked for information. Therefore, this article does not meet the criteria as defined by WP:A7 but surely it requires rewriting to "indicate why its subject is important or significant" as per the guideline. Regarding the improvements for this article, it clearly requires restructuring, better citation excerpts and As for her current work at the AJC, I think that this should go after her military career since it by far the more notable achievement. I don't know where we could obtain a photo but with an infobox, a proper bio, categories and a rewrite, we can have an article! --yonkeltron (talk) 17:20, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
