- Result: Delisted. Consensus is to delist for POV issues (criterion 4) as well as excessive length/detail (criterion 3b). Khazar2 (talk) 02:39, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
First part of the article is written from Israeli perspective, as the good guys defending against the bad Arabs who started the war. Amply and undue describing a border raid in the lead.Then 3 sections about Hezbollah actions. Then bogged down in details. Badly written POV article, much too long. --Wickey-nl (talk) 09:46, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - About 12% of the edits to the article in 2013 are by sockpuppets of banned and blocked editor AndresHerutJaim, who also happens to be a racist ultranationalist Israel supporter (you can google him). Sockpuppets have included Timiccby, LindaSakinto, 200.123.138.193, IranitGreenberg, Michael Zeev and Frentsin. They are the #1 contributor to the article this year, in terms of edit count, with almost twice as many edits as the next person. There seems little chance of significantly improving the article under these circumstances. Semi-protection is ineffective. Perhaps it needs full protection so that every change has to be worked out on the talk page before being implemented by an admin. Sean.hoyland - talk 11:41, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The article is way too long and confusing, and the timeline doesn't really give a good picture of the course of the war. Before rating this as a good article, we should 1) get rid of the timeline and replace it with a good summary of the war, and 2) remove huge loads of redundant information. Before serious improvements are done, this article should not be rated as a good article. --Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 12:15, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Images that convey sympathy towards Israel are way overrepresented. Likewise, the very few Israeli casualties were bizarrely listed first in the infobox, though over a thousand Lebanese civilians died. I changed the order, but this was reverted. Weirdly, Lebanese civilians are also lumped together with combatants, as if to obscure the actual number of civilians killed. It certainly does not come off as a neutral article.

- I agree with all the comments above. The article is very bad, full of irrelevant and incorrect stuff. The timeline section should removed. There is a separate article called Timeline of military operations in the 2006 Lebanon War where we can put the redundant stuff. We also need a new section on the ground war.

- Maybe this article has changed a lot since these comments, but I am not seeing any POV issues with the use of the images. Agree that the lead does go into a little bit too much detail on the first strike. The first four sentences in the second paragraph in the lead could be easily condensed. Not sure if that rises to delisting though. The main concern for me is focus. The timeline is way too detailed for an article of this nature and the table of Israeli casualties doesn't belong in that format. As an aside the non free images do not contain appropriate rationals for use in this article. AIRcorn (talk) 08:33, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Unless some significant improvements are made to the article, I think delisting is the best way to go with this. The page has changed massively since it was promoted more than six years ago (it's increased in size by over 100,000 bytes), and the quality doesn't seem to have been maintained. It needs a thorough review, especially of the use of references. The entire section on "psychological warfare" is attributed to one very unreliable source.
