{{ping|Hipal}}, you never got consensus to delete the information about the death threats and her pro-Palestinian activism. Several editors supported the text about Palestine in some way, you were the only one against it. Furthermore, the situation has evolved since February 2024, and she has participated in several pro-Palestinian protests and called Israeli actions "genocide."{{ping|Jjj1238}}, {{ping|Ïvana}}, {{ping|Super Goku V}}, {{ping|FortunateSons}}, {{ping|Burrobert}}

:I support an RfC given the situation over the last year. --Super Goku V (talk) 07:26, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

:: We should expand the section on Bella's activism post October 2023. For some reason we stop at her condemnation of Hamas. The leaking of her phone number and subsequent death threats is notable. Our treatment of the cancelled Adidas campaign is missing some context. We call the campaign "controversial" (as did the CNBC source but not the BBC source) and say the reason was "in part due to her Palestinian heritage". However, we don't mention that the sources say that the campaign was dropped after criticism from the Israeli government and the American Jewish Committee. Btw the BBC source mentions that, in May 2024, she said she was "devastated at the loss of the Palestinian people and the lack of empathy coming from the government systems worldwide". This seems as notable as her condemnation of Hamas. Burrobert (talk) 12:51, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

=Survey=

  • Yes there is significant non-Event-specific high-quality coverage, and no policy-based reason for exclusion. FortunateSons (talk) 15:34, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Yes per others and past discussions { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 16:12, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Yes include, I did not know this, so it has been "undercommunicated",Huldra (talk) 20:51, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Yes as well-sourced and significant, but I'd get rid of the quotes around "genocide" which aren't necessary as it's only one word and change it to {{xtn|"called Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip a genocide"}}. Additionally, remove the wikilink to Gaza Strip and instead wikilink the word "genocide" to Gaza genocide. Dan Leonard (talk • contribs) 21:25, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
  • :Regarding the first half, I am not seeing anywhere in the source where that is a quotation. Am I missing something? --Super Goku V (talk) 09:31, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
  • ::The Al Jazeera article uses quotation marks around "genocide" but doesn't give enough context for us to do the same (they provide no date or context for the quotation). Since we have the article Gaza genocide I think we are fine treating the genocide as a fact in wikivoice and leave it as a more general statement that she described the events as a genocide. Dan Leonard (talk • contribs) 10:18, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
  • :::Omitting quote marks around the word would not imply that we are endorsing what she said as a Wikivoice fact. The existence of an article with the title Gaza genocide also does not imply that Wikipedia has concluded that the existence of a Gaza genocide is endorsed as a Wikivoice fact. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:36, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment - it is insufficient. All quotes should have a date attached. Year and month would be good. starship.paint (talk / cont) 05:46, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Yes per the above votes. -- Tobby72 (talk) 19:17, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

::Here are links to discussions on similar or same topics: Talk:Dua Lipa#Harbu Darbu, Talk:Mia Khalifa#Harbu Darbu and Talk:Gigi Hadid#Death threats and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. -- Tobby72 (talk) 10:51, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

  • Yes, something along those lines I don't see the issue with including this. However, I would make two comments: I think that dates (rough or possibly precise) should be included for the quotes. Secondly, I am not entirely sure that the statement "Israeli music duo Ness & Stilla released the single "Harbu Darbu", which called for her death" is completely compliant with WP:NPOV and possibly WP:BLP. Three relevant sources are given for this, The times of israel and Business insider describe the duo as calling for retribution against enemies among which Hadid is listed as one (or similar words) [https://www.timesofisrael.com/hip-hop-war-anthem-reaches-number-one-in-israel/] [https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-gen-z-tiktok-harbu-darbu-song-supporting-gaza-bombing-2023-12], while the times describes it as "demanding the killing" [https://www.thetimes.com/world/article/israel-split-by-song-calling-for-death-of-dua-lipa-and-bella-hadid-xcb53tppq]. A review of other sources finds one or two more describing it as calling for her death [https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/harbu-darbu-bella-hadid-dua-lipa-mia-khalifa-b2497225.html], and some others describing it differently [https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-01-28/ty-article-magazine/.premium/israeli-militaristic-hit-song-urges-troops-to-bomb-gaza-threatens-bella-hadid-dua-lipa/0000018d-4172-d02c-a79f-43fb0c920000][https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/culture/article-778106]. Personally I'd probably change the wording on that to maybe quote the exact words used in the song, or change the wording in some other way to ensure solid compliance with WP:NPOV and WP:BLP. Tristario (talk) 05:16, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Yes overall: Some changes seem warranted per starship.paint and Tristario, but overall I agree with the wording and sourcing. --Super Goku V (talk) 02:16, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Yes, in some form. It's a major aspect of her political activism based on coverage and can't reasonably be excluded entirely. If people have objections to the precise wording it can still be workshopped, but total removal isn't appropriate. --Aquillion (talk) 13:43, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
  • No as a whole, per BLP, NOT, POV, OR. The refs and coverage in them are poor to extremely poor. Combining the information in this manner suggests a narrative not in any of the sources. I think we can make a case for mention of her involvement in protests after the Gaza war, though the coverage is so extremely poor that we have no idea how many protests she participated in nor where. In contrast, we have better sources giving such details for protests we don't mention at all Talk:Bella_Hadid#What_protests_deserve_mention?. The quotes and name-dropping are UNDUE and NOT voilations: treating these inferior sources over better ones is grossly inappropriate. --Hipal (talk) 16:00, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Yes- (Brought here from RFC/A) I would say that the proposed text contains some notable information, or at least parts of the information from the sourcing that can be verified. Also agree with starship.paint and Tristario changes which seem warranted. MaximusEditor (talk) 20:50, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Yes. Sourced, non-trivial, neutral - of course it should be included. This is factual and essential information neutrally stated. SilkTork (talk) 00:12, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

What protests deserve mention?

We've identified two specific protests that she participated in that are not currently mentioned in this article [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ABella_Hadid&diff=1291547536&oldid=1291544847]. The RfC above asks us to consider adding mention that she participated in protests related to the Gaza War though we have no details at all, nor individual coverage. Do we list all the protests then, or should we be selective? Are there more we're overlooking? --Hipal (talk) 18:25, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

:I think the answer is to be selective unless one particular instance has a particularly significant amount of coverage in reliable sources. So it could say "She participated in the Gaza war protests in this time period" to cover multiple instances Tristario (talk) 23:37, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

When are quotes valuable?

In general, we should first be working from summaries within references. Secondly, we can attempt to summarize them ourselves. While there are other times where quotes can be useful, it's tempting and inappropriate to use quotes instead of summaries, or when coverage is so minimal that no summaries exist. --Hipal (talk) 16:03, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

Sources that name-drop

Hadid is very popular, receiving a large amount of press. We need to be careful of NOT problems in choosing sources that mention her. Sources that name-drop Hadid, or bring her up in passing are typically not DUE, and certainly should not treated with coverage similar to what we give to superior references. If a source doesn't demonstrate some impact to Hadid, we shouldn't be using it in most cases. --Hipal (talk) 16:09, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
