Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Egypt

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

AfDs for this article:

Per WP:EVENTCRIT. The event does not have in-depth nor sustained continued coverage with none of them providing significant coverage of the event beyond a simple summary. This seems to be the best of the sources that I've found, however it doesn't provide significant coverage of the event. No lasting effects or long-term impacts on a significant region have been demonstrated as a result of the accident. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 10:25, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events, Aviation, Transportation, Egypt, and Yemen. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 10:25, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think "the deadliest civil aviation accident in Yemen" is enough to give it "additional enduring significance" per WP:EVENTCRIT. Astaire (talk) 16:30, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A civil aircraft accident that killed 30 people is hardly WP:RUNOFTHEMILL. Yemen's deadliest civil aircraft accident definitely pushes it over the bar. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 18:18, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Being the deadliest aviation accident in a country is not exactly a valid rationale for keeping an article since it is not based on any notability guideline. The existence of a topic relies on there being reliable secondary sources that provide in-depth and significant coverage of the event, which this accident lacks. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 18:50, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Did you do any WP:BEFORE? I found two newspaper articles on a quick search through the Google archive: "Jetliner slams into lone peak" and "30 killed in jet crash". Astaire (talk) 19:54, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have done a WP:BEFORE. Both of these sources are from March 1972. However, there needs to be sustained continued coverage that provide significant and in-depth coverage of the event beyond the initial aftermath of the accident. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 20:06, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is not true according to WP:NTEMP: once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage.

The event was mentioned as recently as 2016 in the aftermath of EgyptAir Flight 804. [1] [2] [3] Astaire (talk) 21:55, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP: NOTDICT. I can't find any sources that could expand the article beyond the definition of the codepage layout, including the six currently in the article. HyperAccelerated (talk) 02:54, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Twinkle could not notify the article creator because they're indefinitely banned. If there's any users I should notify about this AfD, please let me know. HyperAccelerated (talk) 02:57, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Language, Computing, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:40, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, although a redirect to Code page#DOS code pages could work in theory, I seriously doubt the article has enough views to warrant an optimal redirect. Conyo14 (talk) 18:06, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or Transwiki per my rationale for Code page 3846 above. Davemc0 (talk) 18:56, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
