Points of interest related to Saudi Arabia on Wikipedia: Outline – History – Portal – Category – WikiProject – Alerts – Deletions – Stubs – Assessment – To-do

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Saudi Arabia. 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|Saudi Arabia|~~~~)) 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 Saudi Arabia. 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.

• Redirect to 2034 FIFA World Cup#Venues – To avoid recreating the article unnecessarily. Svartner (talk) 17:34, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• part merge and redirect to Riyadh. Svartner That tournament is way off. Considering the city/town they are building in, I feel that article would be a better choice. It could be notable in the future, but that is a long way off and also running WP:CRYSTAL. @Miminity: I really don't think this is the best bundling because I feel King Khalid University Stadium needs a different venue article, that being Abha. Govvy (talk) 17:30, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  In my opinion, the relevance of the topic is being one of the venues for the 2034 World Cup. Svartner (talk) 00:20, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Svartner: And when they are done with the world cup, they will be used for other football clubs, then there is the multifunctional use. Other sports maybe played at these venues, so redirecting to where you said doesn't help those. etc. Govvy (talk) 08:30, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cyprus–Saudi Arabia relations (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Previously deleted under looser notability standards at AfD in 2009. Not every country A and country B combination is notable. Very poorly sourced, no secondary sources at all. Contains wild claims such as "political relations are close due to similarities between the 2 countries on historical, geographical and economical issues."

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bilateral relations, Saudi Arabia, and Cyprus. AusLondonder (talk) 09:16, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Article is based on 2 sources, 1 of which is primary. Fails GNG. LibStar (talk) 11:45, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Added more sources and encyclopedic context. Bilateral relations between two nations should not be considered irrelevant, and without notoriety, the two countries have mutual cooperation agreements, and like all articles of embassies, consulates and diplomatic relations with the exception of a diplomat Ghirmai Ghebremariam, who opened a query of deletion because it does not meet expectations, the other previous ones could have relevance in the future, and if they should be maintained and improved, not redirected or merged, much less eliminated.
