Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Middle East

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Middle East. 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|Middle East|~~~~}} 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 Middle East. 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.

Shoshneq I Palestinian Campaign

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Incoherent page created by a non-extended-confirmed user conflating an Ancient Egyptian campaign in Palestine (region) with modern-day Palestinians, with a map of the Gaza Strip.

If anything, the historical campaign should be discussed at Shoshenq I instead, where a much more accurate summary is already present. There is no current need for a split article, let alone one that violates a CTOP's ECR restriction by conflating it with recent events.

Delete. Taking into account that AFDISNOTCLEANUP, the article is foremost a premature SPINOFF. And even if more was written, since little is known, any article would be quite the repetition with others. The conquest is already mentioned at Shoshenq I so not really against redirecting either to Shoshenq I#Chronology. Still, the article has just been created and probably not a great name for a redirect, so delete is the preferred way forward. gidonb (talk) 17:39, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kommentar: mastaba is not an appropriate redirect target, as he is not mentioned there. It's clear that he's only notable as the person who was buried in his mastaba, though, so the AfD discussion here should centre on whether Mastaba of Seneb-Neb-Af is notable (we can rename the article after the AfD if so). -- asilvering (talk) 18:22, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, thanks for that, Asilvering. I think we should redirect this article somewhere for now since Mastaba of Seneb-Neb-Af hasn't been created yet. Is there any target you can think of? I wouldn't support renaming because the article is a mess; lacks sources and sufficient context. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 21:03, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kommentar Mastaba is a generic term for a type of tomb. Redirecting there would make no sense. It could be mentioned at Dahshur#Tombs and cemeteries, though. XOR'easter (talk) 19:50, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, the correct title would be Deputy Minister. This is backed up by Farsi sources, that his title was 'معاون وزیر'. Deputy Ministers of national govts are notable, and in this case also member of Steering Council of national govt. --Soman (talk) 11:25, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure this is an NPOL pass - generally, presumed notability would be for cabinet-level posts, but as far as I know deputy ministers in Iran do not serve at cabinet level. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 00:57, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of French people killed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The first as well as the other articles do not meet Wikipedia's requirements for stand-alone lists. ... Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list.

There just aren't enough reliable sources that cover the subject as a whole. We only have bits and pieces of information about the death of one or the other. Additionally, WP:NOTCATALOG and WP:NOTMEMORIAL D.S. Lioness (talk) 02:23, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Löschen WP:NOTMEMORIAL: Subjects of encyclopedia articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements.

Kommentar I'm not sure that our closing program, XFDcloser, will recognize additional articles that are added in the middle of an AFD discussion. This should be handled by the AFD nominator not discussion participants. I don't think that they will be included in this closure. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:54, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But articles added at the end of this discussion will not have been considered by participants who added their opinion at the beginning of this discussion. They are an afterthought.

Abdali Hospital

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Still not notable. The last AfD (when the article was named Abdali Medical Center) was 5 years ago and the decision was to keep the article although it is notable that there was a number of editors saying it met GNG but didn't/wouldn't consider whether the sourcing met NCORP criteria. Nothing has changed in the meantime for me. This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references have content that meets these criteria. HighKing⁺⁺ 17:25, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notes: I have repaired some malformed syntax in this nomination by reapplying {{subst:afd2}}. I am also not sure if simply blanking the previous redirect (which is, on a technical level, not the same as deletion) to bring this to AfD was entirely correct — redirects are generally handled at RfD, but in looking at the page history this could also be interpreted as an objection to a blank-and-redirect from 2019 (AfDs in that realm normally restore the article content, often concurrently with the nomination, but that was unsourced so I'm hesitant to do so here, even procedurally). (The BLAR was contested at the time too, but with Turkish-language content that does not need to return.) Beyond that I provide no opinion at this time.

Comment: Although this article has remained unsourced since its creation, I've restored the version before it redirected to the wrong article and a promotional account added content in the Turkish language.

Delete - Fails WP:NCORP - no WP:SIGCOV of the airline in independent reliable third-party sources that I could see from a look through the first ten pages of Google results. The airline cannot WP:INHERIT the notability of the ECHR case which anyway had its own article. Parties to ECHR cases - who can be private citizens - are not automatically notable. Feel free to ping me if more sources are found.

Regarding the assertion that articles about old airlines have "historical" interest, that is not for us to decide with no reference to anything off-Wiki. Instead the interest of historians has to be evidenced by references to articles and texts showing that the subject-matter is of "historical" importance.

List of Emirates SkyCargo destinations

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NOT, WP:NCORP, common sense.

Common sense is failed because this is a cargo airline that will fly cargo to anywhere you pay them the money to fly to, whose services mostly over-lap with the Emirates passenger airline. The historical development of the services of this company are already summarised in Emirates_SkyCargo#History, so there is nothing that needs merging here.

WP:NOT is failed because this is a complete listing of the services of a company. As such it is excluded under WP:NOTCATALOG no. 6 which states that "Listings to be avoided include [...] products and services". It is also an indiscriminate listing - all destinations are listed without any attempt to summarise them which is against WP:IINFO.

WP:NCORP (which applies to the services of companies as well as the companies themselves) is failed because none of the sources here are independent, third-party, reliable sources. This article is entirely sourced either to the company website or to run-of-the-mill articles based on company press-releases and statements and trade-press coverage. Additionally, many of the links are 404, making them fail verifiability. FOARP (talk) 08:21, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom: numerous WP:NOT violations. Rosbif73 (talk) 08:32, 5 August 2024 (UTC) [reply]
This is not "A resource for conducting business" so NOTCATLOGUE does not apply. We provide information about products and services in countless places on Wikipedia, and when presented neutrally as an overview like this it is not a forbidden. "a complete listing of the services of a company" FALSE. A complete listing would include when these flights are, what it costs to ship with them, what planes are used, etc. This page cannot be used "for conducting the business of the topic of the article", it is merely places they fly. I would agree there is limited notability for cargo routes that would require a standalone article, with limited coverage outside trade press, but this junk argument is not grounded in policy. Reywas92^Talk 14:03, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Reywas92. I think the argument that this is not useful for business might have more weight if others had not argued repeatedly over the years that these lists should be kept precisely because they were useful for doing business (to pick one example from many - "These lists are good sources for the travellers and even for the airline companies, since they are even not aware of where they fly to.")

"We provide information about products and services in countless places on Wikipedia" - this is the classic WP:WAX argument, but it is also wrong in that whilst we certainly provide information where due, we don't typically aim to provide complete and exhaustive listings of the goods and services of a company. In reality, when, for example, a complete listing of Happy Meal Toys came to AFD, it got deleted. Twice.

"A complete listing would include when these flights are, what it costs to ship with them, what planes are used" - All you're saying here is that there's more that could have been added to the catalogue we have here, not that it isn't a list of services that Emirates SkyCargo performs. Indeed, what we have here is more or less the data Emirates provides on its website about its "network", which is why the Emirates SkyCargo website is the source for nearly everything on this page.
