As this article is written right now, it seems a case of WP:1E, due to being assassinated by Al-Qaeda. -- BenTels (talk) 19:50, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No I don't think so. Ali Qatan was already very notable in Yemen. His notability only increased after he was assassinated. I should think that this is not a single event notability. It just so happened that i created this page right after he was killed. Bonkers The Clown (talk) 08:11, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay... Can you add some more about this man to the article (and some references that are not related to his assassination)? -- BenTels (talk) 20:51, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Definitely. Give me some time cos old info on him has been overlapped by dozens of his assassination news. Cheers. Bonkers The Clown (talk) 04:17, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
