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.

Former boxer who lost 125 of his 146 fights, never won a recognised title nor was ever ranked in the top 20 of any of the recognised world governing bodies. Only coverage I can find of him is routine database stuff or passing mentions as the defeated opponent in coverage focussed on other boxers and even that is sparse. Article has been tagged as not meeting notability guidelines and needing additional citations since December 2024 with no improvements made. In summary this article fails GNG and SIGCOV and should be deleted. Anxioustoavoid (talk) 13:34, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Some fight reports found, but this individual does not seem to be a notable athlete, losing most matches and very little to no coverage about them as a person. Oaktree b (talk) 14:47, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I only see two match reports when I look, not enough for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:47, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – This guy has such an infamous card that it looks like a character from Super Punchout [1]. Svartner (talk) 23:57, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
