Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Saudi Arabia

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Saudi Arabia. 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:
  1. 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.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Saudi Arabia|~~~~}} 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 Saudi Arabia. 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.

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]
World Defense Show (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Renominating the article two months after the "no consensus" decision in the second AfD. Reason is same: The exhibition fails to meet WP:EVENT. Lacks WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE and WP:DIVERSE. Arguably WP:TOOSOON. TC-BT-1C-SI (talk) 08:44, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The entire page is highly promotional - with potential WP:COI issues - and most sources used are not neutral WP:RS. Amigao (talk) 19:14, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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]
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.
