Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Middle East
![]() | Points of interest related to Middle East on Wikipedia: History – Portal – Category – WikiProject – Deletions – Stubs |
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Middle East. 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|Middle East|~~~~}} 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 Middle East. 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.

Middle East
[edit]- Operations attributed to Israel in Iran (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Non-notable article with very biased language such as: "Israel has rarely been held accountable for its destructive actions."
Nothing more than a list of incidents/operations.
Contains information from other articles such as Assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists and mentions a 2007 explosion at Parchin while information is included on Parchin's article, so why do we need it here? And attribution to Israel to attacks or incidents in Iran is reported all the time by the Iranian government. Wouldn't it make more sense to have an article on actual Israeli operations in Iran in the wider Iran-Israel proxy conflict?
Was copied from the Farsi Wikipedia. Creator has a long history of copying articles from this Wikipedia and creating the English version. I suspect the Farsi Wikipedia of having NPOV issues with the articles related to Iran and Israel that this creator. Not to mention that this article is under the category of Zionist political violence which is not supported by information in this article. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:17, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politics, Middle East, Iran, and Israel. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 16:17, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
- Delete as a FORK — both POV and REDUNDANT — of Iran–Israel proxy conflict#Assassinations, cyberwarfare and sabotage. As nom mentioned, the tone is highly non-encyclopedic. More importantly, the relevant content is adequately covered in Iran–Israel proxy conflict.
- Note that the AfDd list is considerably broader and includes, for example, a terrorism incident in Iran where Iranian authorities blamed Israel, Israel denied involvement, and ISIS claimed responsibility. Such cases do not belong in a table about Iran–Israel operations. Such an accusation can be mentioned in the body of the relevant article. gidonb (talk) 23:52, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Non-notable article. No such definition of non-political relations is defined. All that is here is related to political relations, i.e. bilateral relations. Copied from the Farsi Wikipedia article, which over there no definition of what non-political relations are between two nations.
Some information is already on the main relations article. Suggest deleting this page and should any info is worth keeping be moved over to the main article.
Practically comes off as a fork of the main article. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:48, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

- Comment 1
No such definition of non-political relations
- First, for a descriptive title its definition is not required. Second, there is definition, right from dictionary: "non-political" means "not political" --Altenmann >talk 20:01, 21 June 2025 (UTC) - Comment 2
comes off as a fork
- please list what exactly content is forked. "Some" is usually OK. --Altenmann >talk 20:01, 21 June 2025 (UTC) - Comment 3
All that is here is related to political
- Not true. Individual business relations are non-political relations. State regulation of business between two countries may probably classified as political relations, but not exactly, because it affects the possibility of a business to do business in another state. Tariffs will most probably be classified as international relations. --Altenmann >talk 20:01, 21 June 2025 (UTC) - Selective merge to Iran–Israel relations#Business and other sections of that main article as relevant. Some of the items here are political-related, others seem fairly minor and don't need to be included. Best to add content to the main article and do a section split when appropriate rather than a separate page like this. Also please learn to use italics and quotation marks properly; they're not in the Farsi article so I'm confused why they are used this way... Reywas92Talk 21:15, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

Keep It's the general name for several flatbreads in the Middle East, certainly notable and independent enough for a page. jolielover♥talk 09:52, 19 June 2025 (UTC)- Also worth noting that "Kuboos" is different from Pita bread; Pita bread is thicker and softer, while this type is more popular for shawarmas. It's very rarely referred to as Pita bread here actually; I assumed it was North American. I don't think Pita and Khubz are the same thing. Some links (just to prove what I'm saying is true, obviously not to be used as sources: [1],
[2]) referring to this flatbread as Kuboos, Some info on that could be added. Also, I'd recommend moving this title to Kuboos since that's usually how it's spelled and pronounced. jolielover♥talk 11:01, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
- I still think it should be kept as it's the term for bread in the Middle East and typically refers to Arabic bread. There should be a general page for Arabic bread as there are different types; however, am striking my vote since maybe the article should be recreated, or something of the sort. Arabic bread or bread in the ME would probably be a more appropriate title. jolielover♥talk 04:22, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

- Move to 'Bread in the Arab Middle East' or something similar. 'Khubz' can be any bread. --Soman (talk) 23:01, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Jolielover there is no word in Arabic as "Kuboos". I don't know what you are referring by that word. The article in question is about Khubz, not Kuboos. "Kaboos" means nightmare in Arabic.
- Khubz in Arabic can refer to any type of bread. Just type bread in Google translate. Khubz is "bread". It is a word. Not a type of bread. 176.28.150.183 (talk) 03:39, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

This article lacks sufficient reliable sources and appears to reflect a non-neutral, possibly partisan narrative. It fails to meet Wikipedia’s standards for notability, sourcing, and neutrality. Much of the content is unsourced or poorly cited, and it presents a historical conflict in a way that seems one-sided, potentially violating Wikipedia's policies on neutrality (WP:NPOV) and verifiability (WP:V). A search for academic or high-quality sources on this specific topic yields very little coverage, suggesting it may not meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for historical events (WP:NOTE). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Madeaccountfr (talk • contribs) 08:42, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

- Keep - There are some pretty poorly written sections, both from a sourcing standpoint and actual written English (the ones with seemingly random capitalized words are especially jarring to look at), but the article is salveagable and I think there's at least a good chance a good article can be written on the subject.

Delete This looks a case of WP:SYNTH as none of the sources discuss this subject in the context of this very specific timescale. Instead it's a bunch of meh sources not addressing the overall subject and being bolted together. That's classic synth and this feels like its either a fork from a wider more general article or should be in a wider history of the conflict if specific sources addressing the conflict as a whole are not available.

Since this article was created in 2011, it has been based almost entirely on citations to sources either from the ICOR itself or from its affiliate members. Attempts to find coverage in reliable secondary source turned up very little. Neither of the cited secondary sources in this article provide significant coverage, only giving the ICOR a passing reference in the wider context of another subject. A cursory Google Scholar search brought up a few self-published Marxist word documents, and one book about German political parties that only mentions the ICOR in passing.
As I have been unable to find significant coverage of this international organisation in reliable sources, and as notability is not inherited from any of its affiliated organisations, I do not think this meets the notability criteria for organisations and am nominating it for deletion.

- Oppose This article doesn't just provide a definition for a word, it's a clear outline of a social phenomenon in a country, a social class that exists that is unique to the country of Egypt. Compare this article with the article for British chavs (Chav). "Baltagiya" isn't just a direct Arabic translation of the word "thug," it's an actual social class that has similar characteristics and in my opinion this warrants its own article.

Since this article was created in 2011, it has been based almost entirely on citations to sources either from the ICOR itself or from its affiliate members. Attempts to find coverage in reliable secondary source turned up very little. Neither of the cited secondary sources in this article provide significant coverage, only giving the ICOR a passing reference in the wider context of another subject. A cursory Google Scholar search brought up a few self-published Marxist word documents, and one book about German political parties that only mentions the ICOR in passing.
As I have been unable to find significant coverage of this international organisation in reliable sources, and as notability is not inherited from any of its affiliated organisations, I do not think this meets the notability criteria for organisations and am nominating it for deletion.

- Iran transition government (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Everything here that mentions the government is a primary source from the transitional government itself, or a related Iranian diaspora organization. There are no secondary sources for things besides statements from Pahlavi.
Source analysis:
- 1 is a Twitter link.
- 2 is a diaspora Iranian organization, primary source.
- 3 is the closest thing here to a secondary source, but also fails to establish this as a clear new government, if anything it provides notability for an article called "Munich Convergence Meeting" rather than the government. The article itself states that the meeting did not intend to "launch a new organization."
- 4 talks about the conference but doesn't mention the government.
- 5 to 19 are all either Twitter links, or reliable sources that discuss Reza Pahlavi's statements, but do not actually discuss the transitional government.
- 20 to 27 are primary sources from the government themselves.
- 28 to 34 again, are news articles discussing Pahlavi and the prospect of regime change.
In short, there are no secondary sources that establish the transitional government is notable, and no news articles that even mention it existing. As such I don't think it meets notability guidelines. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 17:17, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
- I also want to note that a single news article (from a secondary source) that elaborates on what the transition government actually is would likely at least establish it exists, its just that everything listed so far either is a primary source or a news article of Pahlavi saying that he has a "transition plan" which is distinct from the fully fledged organization described in this article.

- Keep - It is fairly common for Wikipedia to have articles about governments in exile, (such as Ukraine Salvation Committee, Free Joseon and Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam) and for self-proclaimed alternative governments, (such as Government of Peace and Unity and Government of National Stability and the Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Indonesia). Therefore I see no reason why a government in exile / alternative government being formed for Iran by a prominent member of the Iranian royal house should not warrant such an article.Dn9ahx (talk) 21:33, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
- Merge: I wouldn't reject notability entirely as it is quite often discussed among opposition groups especially with recent events. I do though have some hesitancy about a full article since it's mostly proposals at this time and not any institutional government right now (PM, cabinet, etc). Because of this, I think the material in the article should be transferred over to the Iranian opposition page, and it can separate out as an article in the future if an actual transitional government is formed. TeddyRoosevelt1912 (talk) 22:40, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
- keep (note that I wrote the article): The topic is very notable and naturally governments in exile of non Anglo-Saxon countries tend to be covered mainly by diaspora newspapers in their native languages. That’s why many of the sources are non English and come from diaspora based outlets.

No, of course not, per WP:CRYSTALBALL.

this article does not meet Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. The topic lacks significant coverage in reliable, independent, and verifiable sources. Most of the references are either partisan, locally produced, or non-scholarly, and the event is not discussed in academic or mainstream historical literature. Furthermore, the article appears to violate Wikipedia’s neutral point of view policy by presenting a one-sided narrative without acknowledging other perspectives or providing balanced context. Without reliable sources and a neutral tone, this topic does not merit a standalone article on Wikipedia.

How is the content and title biased?

Keep Sorry but you are very incorrect, Cilovluq is very mainstream and famous in Azerbaijan. So instead of nominating everything for deletion simply because you don’t research enough, maybe go on google and search it up. They have even done excavations and found bones, there is also photographic evidence and eyewitness testimony as provided in the page. Also I still don’t think you understand, the sources are literally academic and from eyewitness testimony, and also historians? You know this event is highly documented in books right? It’s very known that the Assyrians and Armenians under Agha Petros committed atrocities in order to establish an Assyrian region and get rid of the Muslims in Iranian Azerbaijan. And the page literally provided perspectives from other authors?!? It includes reliable sources and a neutral tone, how about you provide some examples when nominating the whole page for deletion. The page has a total of 70 sources, all of which is accessible in one way or another. And we can add even more if that’s necessary, the genocide deserves more recognition from English readers. The Muslim people of Iranian Azerbaijan deserve recognition. the ottomans literally cried when they recaptured the areas from the Christian’s, it was truly horrible. The muslimsof Iranian Azerbaijan have tried to get recognized, an English page on the matter is a good way to get recognition. 2A02:AA1:1164:2A69:617B:D586:307A:A0A3 (talk) 11:15, 23 June 2025 (UTC)- non-WP:GS/AA user --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:36, 23 June 2025 (UTC)- Delete: Support per nom.

Non-notable article with very biased language such as: "Israel has rarely been held accountable for its destructive actions."
Nothing more than a list of incidents/operations.
Contains information from other articles such as Assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists and mentions a 2007 explosion at Parchin while information is included on Parchin's article, so why do we need it here? And attribution to Israel to attacks or incidents in Iran is reported all the time by the Iranian government. Wouldn't it make more sense to have an article on actual Israeli operations in Iran in the wider Iran-Israel proxy conflict?

No such definition of non-political relations

All that is here is related to political
- Not true. Individual business relations are non-political relations. State regulation of business between two countries may probably classified as political relations, but not exactly, because it affects the possibility of a business to do business in another state. Tariffs will most probably be classified as international relations. --Altenmann >talk 20:01, 21 June 2025 (UTC) - Selective merge to Iran–Israel relations#Business and other sections of that main article as relevant.

- I originally nominated this article for deletion back in March of this year. Following a larger search for sources, I only found five worth noting:
- Constitution of the party
- Iraq Country Assessment by the UK, on page 66
- Leftist Parties of Iraq (now dead website), mentions year of establishment, founder, and ideology
- Europa World Year, mentions opposition to Kurdish region
- Journal article by Vahram Petrosian, on page 25
- Even within these sources, the subject is only given small mentions that are one or a few sentences in length. A commenter on the previous AfD mentioned that there would've been print media discussions of the party, though I couldn't find any such sources archived (even by searching the name of the party in Arabic, no results come up). Having not found more than these five sources with more or similar discussion, it's safe to assume that the articles fails Wikipedia:SIGCOV beyond trivial mentions and, although noting that reliable sources exist mentioning the party, that WP:ORGSIG applies as other similar parties exist that advocate for the same things. I argue for deletion based on these merits. Surayeproject3 (talk) 02:46, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

This article lacks sufficient reliable sources and appears to reflect a non-neutral, possibly partisan narrative. It fails to meet Wikipedia’s standards for notability, sourcing, and neutrality. Much of the content is unsourced or poorly cited, and it presents a historical conflict in a way that seems one-sided, potentially violating Wikipedia's policies on neutrality (WP:NPOV) and verifiability (WP:V). A search for academic or high-quality sources on this specific topic yields very little coverage, suggesting it may not meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for historical events (WP:NOTE). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Madeaccountfr (talk • contribs) 08:42, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

All seven references are used simultaneously for every section. Verifiability for these claims is questionable. No page numbers are given for any of these books. The two links given are dead and cannot be recovered from the wayback machine.
Furthermore, the citations for the books seem off. For example, there is a Daniel Rogov who writes guides on Israeli wine, and there was a version published in 2005, but the title The Ultimate Guide to Israeli Wines isn't used (there is a The Ultimate Rogov's Guide to Israeli Wines from 2011) and they seem to be published by Toby Press, not Gefen Publishing House. There is also a book called "The New Middle Eastern Vegetarian: Modern Recipes from Veggiestan", but the author is listed as Sally Butcher, not Gil Atlas. I cannot find the Schreiber or Lewin books anywhere. Only the Solomonov and Cook reference has no apparent flaw. If anybody can find a few of these sources (perhaps they're in Hebrew), I'll withdraw this nomination, but as is, the article appears to be built on almost nothing.

There are many problems with the references. For one, no page numbers are given. I cannot find the books "Cheese from the Land of Milk and Honey: A Guide to Israeli Cheese". I also can't find "Food in Israel: A Mediterranean Journey." or "The Secret Life of Cheese: The Complete Guide to Cheese and Cheese-Making in Israel", although the authors exist (Mayer-Chissick appears to be an Israeli author and is listed by the National Library of Israel (https://www.nli.org.il/en/a-topic/987007462694605171) but this particular book is not mentioned). The source by Gur exists (and can be found here https://archive.org/details/bookofnewisraeli0000gurj/page/220/mode/2up?q=feta) and has a section on cheese but does not mention Israeli feta. The same is true for the source by Nathan (https://archive.org/details/foodsofisraeltod0000nath/page/242/mode/2up) which is cited for a claim about bourekas, ziva, and borek, but does not mention any of these dishes, at least from a quick search. As such, it appears difficult to verify any of these claims, unless somebody can provide page numbers. ISBNs would also help.

Non-notable article with very biased language such as: "Israel has rarely been held accountable for its destructive actions."
Nothing more than a list of incidents/operations.
Contains information from other articles such as Assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists and mentions a 2007 explosion at Parchin while information is included on Parchin's article, so why do we need it here? And attribution to Israel to attacks or incidents in Iran is reported all the time by the Iranian government. Wouldn't it make more sense to have an article on actual Israeli operations in Iran in the wider Iran-Israel proxy conflict?
Was copied from the Farsi Wikipedia. Creator has a long history of copying articles from this Wikipedia and creating the English version. I suspect the Farsi Wikipedia of having NPOV issues with the articles related to Iran and Israel that this creator.

No such definition of non-political relations
- First, for a descriptive title its definition is not required. Second, there is definition, right from dictionary: "non-political" means "not political" --Altenmann >talk 20:01, 21 June 2025 (UTC) - Comment 2

All that is here is related to political
- Not true. Individual business relations are non-political relations. State regulation of business between two countries may probably classified as political relations, but not exactly, because it affects the possibility of a business to do business in another state. Tariffs will most probably be classified as international relations. --Altenmann >talk 20:01, 21 June 2025 (UTC) - Selective merge to Iran–Israel relations#Business and other sections of that main article as relevant. Some of the items here are political-related, others seem fairly minor and don't need to be included. Best to add content to the main article and do a section split when appropriate rather than a separate page like this. Also please learn to use italics and quotation marks properly; they're not in the Farsi article so I'm confused why they are used this way... Reywas92Talk 21:15, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

- The original nomination does not indicate how the article fails any notability guideline, as the current sourcing of the page is irrelevant to notability as per WP:NEXIST and length is irrelevant as per WP:CONTN. Moreover, WP:NLIST acknowledges potential exceptions to WP:GNG for certain types of lists. Additionally, the list likely does meet general notability guidelines, as the role of Philippine Ambassador to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is notable, thus a list of people in that would also likely be. I would also argue the an ambassadorship qualifies as an international or national political office in regards to WP:NPOL, if notability of list subjects is being called into question.

- 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)

He is the Leader of both Palestinian Mujahideen Movement and its armed wing Mujahideen Brigades since 2007, so saying someone who had led a major militant group in Gaza for more than a decade is unjustifiable. He is a high value target according to Israel and have participation and leadership role in the Nir'oz attack and kidnapping of Shiri bibas and family both of the event have its own wikipedia article and As'ad Abu Shari'a and his group have been mentioned many times in these articles andsnews reports.
- It is true he received widespread recognition only after his assassination but reports of him have been in the internet since 2007 and many reports only came after Assassination is due to the secrecy of the group protecting its leader.
- The article was made after his assassination but it does not his notability and participation in the Gaza War. Similarly, articles like

Since this article was created in 2011, it has been based almost entirely on citations to sources either from the ICOR itself or from its affiliate members. Attempts to find coverage in reliable secondary source turned up very little. Neither of the cited secondary sources in this article provide significant coverage, only giving the ICOR a passing reference in the wider context of another subject. A cursory Google Scholar search brought up a few self-published Marxist word documents, and one book about German political parties that only mentions the ICOR in passing.
As I have been unable to find significant coverage of this international organisation in reliable sources, and as notability is not inherited from any of its affiliated organisations, I do not think this meets the notability criteria for organisations and am nominating it for deletion.

This article lacks sufficient reliable sources and appears to reflect a non-neutral, possibly partisan narrative. It fails to meet Wikipedia’s standards for notability, sourcing, and neutrality. Much of the content is unsourced or poorly cited, and it presents a historical conflict in a way that seems one-sided, potentially violating Wikipedia's policies on neutrality (WP:NPOV) and verifiability (WP:V). A search for academic or high-quality sources on this specific topic yields very little coverage, suggesting it may not meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for historical events (WP:NOTE). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Madeaccountfr (talk • contribs) 08:42, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

This article reads somewhat like a resume mixed with a blog, possibly because the subject, per the article, "keeps a low public profile". The references, though 30, are not predominantly about the subject; many are ammouncements about his company, and several others are general articles that mention him in passing. The few sources that are actually about him profile him for having a lot of money, either locally or in Forbes, and are not generally in depth. He does not appear to be personally notable.

I prodded this and content was merged like this South Yemen at the 1988 Summer Olympics#Ehab Fuad Ahmed Nagi. It should be a plain redirect if that is desired. More discussion at WP:COUNTRYATOLYBIO. This individual fails WP:SPORTSCRIT so my preference is delete. LibStar (talk) 02:25, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Olympics, Sport of athletics, and Yemen. LibStar (talk) 02:25, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
- Delete Almost entirely unsourced. This would be a great redirect article, but not one of its own. PickleG13 (talk) 04:27, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: Per nom, this subject lacks the needed WP:SIGCOV to meet the WP:SPORTSCRIT. The only source is a database and I couldn't find anything better to support notability. Let'srun (talk) 14:09, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to South Yemen at the 1988 Summer Olympics#Athletics – As WP:ATD. Svartner (talk) 15:14, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to South Yemen at the 1988 Summer Olympics#Athletics per Svartner, as we have done with many other AfD nominations of Olympic participants. ⋆。˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚。⋆ 10:23, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
