Not a biography[edit]

Am I the only one who thinks this is not at all about Asmahan Mansour? There is no biographical information about the girl, and her only claim to fame is to be ejected from a soccer game because she wore a hijab. The article is essentially just about the news event that was her ejection from a soccer game and the various publicized reactions to this. As such, it should be either deleted (Wiki is not a news site) or renamed if that event is deemed historically significant in itself. Else it should be merged with the reasonable accommodation article.--Boffob 16:25, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just put the merge tag today, as the article has been renamed. It's still the same article it was about a somewhat insignificant (by itself) news event, and as such, violates WP:NOT#NEWS. It should be summarized and incoporated into the reasonable accommodation article.--Boffob (talk) 15:43, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
