Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Syria

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

List of wars involving South Yemen

Quite the same reason as of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of wars involving North Yemen. A WP:REDUNDANTFORK and an unwarranted WP:SPLIT with no consensus at Talk:List of wars involving Yemen. Garuda ^Talk! 19:09, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Historical country. Merging with List of wars involving Yemen makes a statement on the ongoing secessionist conflict ("South Yemen = Yemen"). Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 19:16, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing to merge there, I didn't even call for that. The only thing I'd suggest is gaining consensus to WP:PROSPLIT the List of wars involving Yemen Garuda ^Talk! 19:26, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:REDUNDANTFORK. BilletsMauves^€500 21:19, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:REDUNDANTFORK and WP:POINT. This page unnecessarily duplicates information already available elsewhere on Wikipedia, which does not serve the user effectively. Maintaining multiple versions of the same content creates confusion and is counterproductive to Wikipedia's mission of providing concise, reliable information. gidonb (talk) 02:10, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of wars involving North Yemen

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

An obvious WP:REDUNDANTFORK of List of wars involving Yemen with no source whatsoever. Merging and redirecting are also unwarranted considering there is nothing to merge in its parent article and the list doesn't link to many articles to even consider a redirect. Garuda ^Talk! 09:49, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events, History, Military, Islam, Egypt, Middle East, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Yemen. Garuda ^Talk! 09:49, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Sources are an easy fix that I can do right now and I think that the lists for North and South Yemen shoud be removed from List of wars involving Yemen 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 10:05, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed the citation issue 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 10:26, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why should there be a WP:SPLIT of the List of wars involving Yemen? That's not how it works. PS: You need to go through the Migration strategy Garuda ^Talk! 10:32, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

North and South Yemen were two states that existed at the same time; Placing one over another might cause confusion for the time period esp for editors who know nothing about that stuff and are here for the modern Yemen part. Plus we dont have a "List of wars involving Korea" (We do have "List of wars involving Korea until 1948" tho) because those are different states 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 11:10, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:OCON. Garuda ^Talk! 11:34, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete:Per nom. A mere content fork of List of wars involving Yemen, there's no consensus to split the list. CelesteQuill (talk) 06:09, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'm not sure that I understand the part of the deletion rationale advocating against a merge. With the article now being well supported by sources, why would it not be possible? BilletsMauves^€500 13:15, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Simply because it is WP:SAMETYPEFORK. There's no consensus on List of wars involving Yemen to WP:SPLIT the list. Garuda ^Talk! 15:27, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah and let's ignore the explanation i gave above 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 07:45, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

~~This does not answer my question about why it would not be possible to merge the article with List of wars involving Yemen. BilletsMauves^€500 17:49, 22 January 2025 (UTC)~~ My bad, I did not see that this content used to be included in List of wars involving Yemen, but was removed after this AfD was started. BilletsMauves^€500 17:54, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as List of wars involving Yemen already exists. REDISCOVERBHARAT (talk) 15:17, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:REDUNDANTFORK and revert the change made on List of wars involving Yemen by Abo Yemen after this AfD was started. BilletsMauves^€500 17:57, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have split the article on August 2023 but forgot to delete the stuff from the main article. If this gets merged then the south's article should get merged too 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 18:54, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Done Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of wars involving South Yemen. However there's nothing to merge or redirect at List of wars involving Yemen as it's just a same type fork. Garuda ^Talk! 19:17, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:REDUNDANTFORK. Repeating the same information across multiple pages does not serve the user effectively and goes against Wikipedia's goal of providing centralized, accurate content. gidonb (talk) 02:12, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Does not look like it is notable, no content other than it's location and population. Sheriff U3 | Talk | Con 07:32, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Location and population meets WP:NPLACE. -- D'n'B-📞 -- 12:33, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it seems to be a census settlement. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:23, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep clearly populated place, appears to be a census settlement which passes WP:GEOLAND. SportingFlyer T·C 03:27, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete census tracts are not legally recognised places and I can find no mention of this place in English that isn't circular to Wikipedia. Traumnovelle (talk) 20:44, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
