Fails WP:GNG and lacks WP:SIGCOV. Contested drafting, bringing it here because of that. I would support a drafting first before deletion. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:10, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It's an international event and likely more coverage exists, just that requires searching in various non-English languages where search results are already likely limited.KatoKungLee (talk) 20:03, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Too detailed relative to the sport and event. Weightlifting at all Arab Games and annual editions of the games is as much detail as we should carry for THIS sport and event. No objection that something here will be upmerged. gidonb (talk) 00:51, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This is an international sporting event and coverage should be out there. Examples that I found in just a quick search included this fairly detailed write-up of the weights lifted by different athletes. Then there will be national news coverage, e.g. this. There's no indication that the info is false, just lacking inline refs. Iskandar323 (talk) 10:40, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Since other sports of the 2023_Arab_Games have their own articles, weightlifing could have it's own. Meanwhile meets GNG as well.Ma.Sa.54 (talk) 22:18, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
