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.

Turkish-Syrian Border Clashes (1938)

Deprodded without improvement. The one current source which can be searched produced zero in-depth coverage of this subject. Searches also turned up zero in-depth sourcing about this. As it stands, there isn't enough sourcing to pass WP:VERIFY. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 01:35, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Allegations of ethnic cleansing by Kurdish forces in northern Syria (2015–2016)

Keep or merge to Syrian civil war#Kurdish autonomy in northeastern Syria. Sources on this topic can be easily found ([1], [2], [3]), though the oddly-specific title is concerning. Article needs work but the topic is clearly notable. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 23:38, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: While no consensus for delete, neither is there consensus for keep - further contributions would be useful - does the topic actually warrant a stand alone page?

2025 Southern Syria bombings

Keep, it is the first attack by ISIS against the Syrian Transitional Goverment JaxsonR (talk) 19:50, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Southern Syria clashes (April–May 2025), which is currently a hodgepodge of reporting about clashes involving the panoply of Israeli, Druze, and Syrian forces, and where this would fit in context. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Longhornsg (talk • contribs) 16:35, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Southern Syria clashes (April–May 2025). I agree with the WP:NOTNEWS assertion, and I think the target article is better-suited for the information contained here.--DesiMoore (talk) 15:16, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
that doesnt even make sense, ISIS wasnt even involved in the clashes to begin with. JaxsonR (talk) 20:38, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
