Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Bahrain

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Bahrain. 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|Bahrain|~~~~}} 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 Bahrain. 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 Asia.

Big Brother: The Boss

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Content already exists on Big Brother (franchise) article. Stand alone article does not meet wp:GNG. Variety312 (talk) 21:09, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Television, Entertainment, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. Variety312 (talk) 21:09, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Would you mind slowing down television-related AfDs, please? and in particular, if you suggest redirects or merging, you can start a discussion on the TPs of the concerned pages. Thank you. -Mushy Yank. 00:35, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Big Brother (franchise)#Versions since it seems more notable to have article in arabic wiki than English wiki. Ramos1990 (talk) 21:08, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Ramos1990, that's not how notability works. It doesn't matter what language the sources are in. -- asilvering (talk) 00:26, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What I meant was that this is not notable here. Ramos1990 (talk) 04:09, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Switching to Keep per Toadspike below. Ramos1990 (talk) 07:23, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Big Brother (franchise): Doesn’t need a whole page…. Valorrr ^{(lets chat)} 05:26, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak keep~~. Given the region of the world and my lack of relevant language competencies it is obviously difficult to find sources for this, but I cannot imagine that the first edition of Big Brother to be cancelled is not notable. Al-Jazeera has three articles on it [1][2][3], definitely sigcov. Toadspike [Talk]

Switching to Strong keep. See New York Times coverage, this opinion piece. There might be more from the NYTimes here. Also noting that the two !votes to redirect have zero guideline-based rationale. Toadspike [Talk] 06:36, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Variety312@Ramos1990@Asilvering@Valorrr Please see the sources I've linked above, I believe they show that the subject meets the GNG. Toadspike [Talk] 06:36, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
