As I suspected, no sooner had one of you written a Wikipedia article on Israellycool, that someone else has proposed it be deleted. The reason?
[I was hoping they would try to delete the article on these grounds, since they should be the easiest to refute].It is proposed that this article be deleted, because of the following concern:
