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:

1. 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.
2. 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.

Note that 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 links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Egypt.

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.

• Draftify and enforce the AfC process. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 13:57, 27 February 2024 (UTC) Reply[reply]
• Delete fails WP:GNG with only one reference that appears to be WP:PRIMARY. Nothing additional could be found in a Google search either. I oppose moving back to draft space because it is unlikely that further coverage will be made available for an event that has already concluded. I will reconsider this !vote if more sources are made available, so please ping me. Frank Anchor 14:06, 27 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No credible claim of notability. Only 3 sources. First reference does not mention Hakawi News, 2 and 3 are Wordpress pages on the official website. WP:Before shows zero independent coverage, although both Commons and Wikiquote are also being targeted with articles promoting Hakawi News and its editor, who has "apparently" won not only the French Legion of Honor but also a 2023 Academy Award.

Sources have been added and are being supplemented Follow the page،Hakawi News. (Ahmed brens (talk) 19:06, 1 March 2024 (UTC))Reply[reply]

Most sources being added are about the Hakawi International Festival for Children’s Arts, run by Cairo's AFCA Arts Center. It has zero connection aside from its name with the Wordpress website Hakawi News. The Hakawi Jazz Festival, organized by the Library of Alexandria, also has no connection to Hakawi News.

• Delete: As it is apparent this is a cross-wiki abuse, Hakawi News doesn't appear to pass any notability guidelines. Neither general nor subjective. ─ Aafī (talk) 13:47, 2 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't see any issues with the article. 18Carlox32 (talk) 14:45, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Keep. The Arabic sources cited in the article look pretty good to me. The best English language sources I could find seem to be an FAS fact sheet, Global Security fact sheet, and a Carnegie Middle East Center report on Egypt's military industrial complex which has paragraphs about this factory on pages 55 and 212. There are also plenty of mentions in routine and not fully independent coverage which don't help much for notability but can be used to source facts in the article. Eluchil404 (talk) 23:51, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  those English sources are not good - as I mentioned, passing mentions. BoraVoro (talk) 07:22, 26 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. The sources mentioned above do not meet the criteria as already been pointed out. Eluchil404 pretty much admits the sources are "fully independent" and "don't help much for notability". The arabic sources in the article are no better; one is a page displaying the logos of 23 companies with no in-depth information, another relies entirely on info provided by the company and the chairman, another is PR relating to a visit by a government minister, another reports on a meeting where the company attended for continued/increased government support. None of those sources meet the criteria and I am unable to locate any that does. HighKing⁺⁺ 15:05, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
