Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Lebanon

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Lebanon. 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:

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.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Lebanon|~~~~}} 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 Lebanon. 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.

Based on pictures being accessible and his accomplishments, it feels very likely that coverage will exist. We should actually look in newspaper archives. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:26, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Per lack of
WP:SIGCOV and a clear redirection target. Svartner (talk) 13:45, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply

Keep. It is very difficult to use As-Safir's archives, but they allow you to search his name (that's stories including "Dany Hadad" in the title, but he may be covered under other names such as "Daniel" as well). There's about 10-15 stories with him in the title, some of which I've listed below:

Danny Haddad, Electricity Fencing Champion Al-Safir Source Date: 12/30/1979 Dany Haddad Represents Lebanon in Fencing at the Mediterranean Games Al-Safir Source Date: 1979/8/3 Dany Haddad, Lebanese Fencing Champion Al-Safir Source Date: 1982/1/4 Dany Haddad, Independence Fencing Champion Al-Safir Source Date: 1986/12/5 Dany Haddad Wins the Expatriates Fencing Cup Al-Safir Source Date: 1980/2/15 Dany Haddad Wins the Christmas Cup in Fencing Al-Safir Source Date: 1980/12/29 Dany Haddad places 37th in the Canada Fencing Championship Source: As-Safir Date: May 2, 1987

Lebanese Fencing Championship: 22 competitors, Danny Haddad first Source: As-Safir Date: March 30, 1980

I haven't looked at all of them – only a few have worked for me, but there looks to be enough to write something decent here, and remember, all these stories were found only by looking at one paper. Lebanon has many papers, and the odds that those other papers wouldn't have covered him further, given what we know, is very small. The Newsday has some bits that could be used to expand as well. If kept, I'll expand this. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:13, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Technically, we need at least one other source since these results come from the same paper, but this is a very promising start. I've tried some searching with his Arabic name but haven't found anything else so far. Let'srun (talk) 14:19, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In addition, the Newsday article appears to be more about the subjects father. Let'srun (talk) 14:22, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Let'srun, I noticed you have participated in this AfD but not yet cast a !vote. LibStar (talk) 00:42, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As of now, I'm neutral on this discussion. We only have
WP:SIGCOV on the subject. Let'srun (talk) 01:34, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply

Keep Per above source review. Kingsif (talk) 11:47, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
