Hoax article that portrays rumors as fact based on deprecated sources such as Anatolia Agency

  • Keep: The most problematic inclusions have been removed since the creation of this AfD. The article is certainly notable, and there are plenty of reliable sources that exist ([1][2][3][4], these were literally the first 4 on Google). Curbon7 (talk) 14:14, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
All four of those refs only make mention of Egypts vocal support / recognition of Syrian Government. There are dozens of other countries that follow suit eg North Korea, Venezuela that don't need their own article about their "involvement" in the war. There is only one deprecated source about Egypts involvement in the conflict. Furthermore the infobox is considering Egypt a belligerent.

In its current form, with the hoaxes such as belligerently removed the article is three sentences wrong and not worthy of an article.

  • Delete - for notability concerns, but also per
    WP:TNT. The fact that so much content has been removed is indicative of the fact that this article just needs to start over. If someone wants to write this article, they can take up that responsibility. But an article like this is really just not acceptable. Also, if there even is any good coverage, it can be added to an existing Syrian Civil War article. versacespaceleave a message! 06:26, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Delete - While I don't want to bite a newcomer, I do believe that articles like this one hurt Wikipedia. There is simply no evidence that Egypt is in any way "involved" in the war in Syria. Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 10:50, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
