This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Kuwait. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Kuwait|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Kuwait. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.
This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Middle East.

Non-notable company article. Indian sources are not useful per WP:RSNOI. Veldsenk (talk) 22:15, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Löschen: Can only find routine coverage unhelpful for notability per WP:ORGTRIV and obviously sponsored posts. C F A 💬 23:36, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed, there seems to be no reliable citation throughout the page and the listing seems to have malicious and purely profit-seeking intentions behind it. Wouldn't recommend it to be kept listed either. PerpRead1 (talk) 07:54, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies, Websites, and Kuwait. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 01:50, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, the article does not currently carry any meaningful or important content to be covered on Wikipedia as of yet. Once the are notable or important media coverage from independent and reliable sources, not paid promotional articles, the article can be requested for retrieve from the deleted articles by anyone with sufficient reason, notability and reliable sources coverage, if no one request for the article to be retrieved, it means the is no value for the article to be covered on Wikipedia.
- Vote: Delete Dwaynemoony (talk) 06:38, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep I'm not the one who created this article, but I was one of the editors who completely rewrote the article and included a string of international media sources (which are used in extremely large numbers in other articles). After much discussion and recommendations I kept only the notable sources which are certainly sufficient to keep the article. Also, being a globally known platform, I would be of the opinion that it can be present on wikipedia. Being a related platform to Temu which is even newer in the market it is already present in wikipedia.
I want to mention that I have nothing to do with this topic!
P.S In the meantime I will analyze to identify new sources in addition to the existing ones in the article.--DanikS88 (talk) 13:31, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- It appears as if you have close connection to the subject, which is not allowed or have you been paid to cover the subject? is not only about the source is also about you close to the subject, and also about the importance to be covered on Wikipedia, should there be any important new information with credibility, the deletion will be extended for further discussion until then, it should be removed, it does not have any importance to be covered on Wikipedia as of yet. It should be part of the company's story on their own website. Dwaynemoony (talk) 20:59, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- I have no close connection with this topic and I don't edit wikipedia for pay. I do it for pleasure and in the interest of learning something and providing readers with credible information. It's easy to blame someone, but harder to make wikipedia better. DanikS88 (talk) 15:30, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- The articles listed are clearly promotional articles, paid to have been put up, and therefore, providing unjustified defenses while stating I do it for pleasure seems a bit misleading here. There are zero independent, unpaid articles about the company and the page seems to have been set up entirely for promotional purposes instead of adding any value to Wikipedia readers.

- Delete at least per WP:NEWSORGINDIA and lack of notability. --美しい歌 (talk) 10:42, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Kommentar I added a top source from Kuwait to the article, so I reviewed the sources available in the article which are enough to establish the notability of the article, as I said these sources are used in hundreds of wikipedia articles. I don't want to comment on the editors who vote deletion because it's not my right (but some of them seem to be from a WP:SOCK), this will be reviewed by an administrator. I just ask that the editor who will be in charge of deleting the article to review the past version of the article and the current version to make a comparison, because the subject is notable being internationally known, having some revenue which is enough to prove notability.--DanikS88 (talk) 15:06, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- The article you added is a routine, no-byline promo piece about an app update. If you suspect sockpuppetry, take it to SPI. Don't cast aspersions with no evidence. Please strike
but some of them seem to be from a WP:SOCK
. C F A 💬 20:06, 4 September 2024 (UTC) - DanikS88, the discussion closer assesses this deletion discussion and the arguments participants are making, they aren't analyzing the article. Liz Read! Talk! 04:19, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Liz, sorry but I didn't understand your message, but as you can see my comment about there being a connection between editors who keep trying to attack me, even the newly created PerpRead1 editor who comes up with an attack message is clearly a company that votes en masse to delete.... DanikS88 (talk) 10:46, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

- You do not do yourself any favours, by getting it declined at AFC, then moving it to Article Space yourself, saying it was on hold for 3 months. (1. Creation of article, 2. AFC Declined 9 days later)
- Just an observation. MM (Give me info.) (Victories) 08:25, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- I agree that it was not in compliance with wikipedia policies to move to the main space, but I have argued this.
- And the fact that the article was denied I discussed at the time with the respective editor, where I removed all promotional information and sources. Because the initial draft that I had no connection to was clearly working with a promotional purpose. Thanks! DanikS88 (talk) 10:54, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- "Promotional information" is not why the article should be deleted. The company simply isn't notable enough for a Wikipedia article. C F A 💬 13:06, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Sources in different language versions are notable and reliable enough to comply with WP:NCORP. However, the page could be completed with more information. It also respects WP:GNG.--Ciudatul (talk) 15:17, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Disagree with Keep: Well according to WP:NCORP for companies, organisations, corporates, products and services, they need to meet the following guidelines in order the be notable.
- Contain significant coverage addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth.
- Be completely independent of the article subject.
- Meet the standard for being a reliable source.
- Be a secondary source; primary and tertiary sources do not count towards establishing notability.
- In this case, this company or website does not meet the basic required standard to be considered notable. In other words as I have noted before, this company is not yet important to be covered on Wikipedia. If the company was ready, I would be voting for it to be kept. I have created lot of articles approved and disaproved which taught me the importance of the subject we are covering and notability. In this case, this company does not meet the basic requirements. Source is not reliable, or is from promotional articles, there is no even a single reliable source relating to the company's culture, or user impact. According to the requirements of Wikipedia, is not yet a subject that should be covered on Wikipeia, The is no importance of this website on Wikipedia, even its Operation section is written like a promo indicating is written by someome close to the source. Being named one of 50 companies according to Deloitte, does not mean is satisfy notability that is required by Wikipedia, every corporate have list of their own top something, that does not mean the company is notable enough to be covered on Wikipedia unless if Wikipedia state so, you can provide that.

I don't see that the article meets the notability policy; it's just a plan and has not been implemented in reality.-- فيصل (talk) 14:03, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to Petroleum industry in Kuwait, which was partially sourced with a link to the Central Intelligence Agency. Written the same year as this one, it's much more clear and concise about the subject matter. — Maile (talk) 18:27, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Note that there is no mention of Project Kuwait at Petroleum industry in Kuwait at this time.

- Delete. I don't see a rationale to merge as this is a proposal. I don't find it anywhere, and while there obviously have been improvements they would be under other names.Ldm1954 (talk) 15:58, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
