Wikipedia deletes Benjamin Emanuel entry

Wikipedia has deleted Rahm Emanuel's father's page. Benjamin M. Emanuel's entry was recommended for deletion shortly after Obama named the younger Emanuel as his Chief of Staff, and it looks like it had already been deleted (or recommended for deletion) once before in January of 2007.

"Benjamin M. Emanuel" is no longer searchable in Wikipedia, but the former-page can be accessed through the original URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_M._Emanuel"

That is actually an Article for Deletion entry now, not the Benjamin Emanuel entry itself. But like this article points out the original Wiki can be found mirrored here:

Apparently Rahm Emanuel got a lot of heat from a comment his father made recently:

In an interview with Ma'ariv, Emanuel's father, Dr. Benjamin Emanuel, said he was convinced that his son's appointment would be good for Israel. "Obviously he will influence the president to be pro-Israel," he was quoted as saying. "Why wouldn't he be? What is he, an Arab? He's not going to clean the floors of the White House."'

Scroll down on that guy...

Could it be possible to have any more articles on Israel allocated to one person? Holy fuck....big surprise.

I say keep all the info, and put it under Rahm as his crazy racist terrorist father in his "early life" or "childhood years"
