Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Saudi Arabia

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:

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|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.

Shah Kamal Quhafah

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

This article fails to meet the notability guidelines as outlined in WP:N. The subject is not the focus of any significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. The few mentions that do exist in Bengali are passing and do not provide the depth of material necessary to support a standalone article. Most of the sources cited are either not about the subject or use it only as a brief example without substantial analysis or dedicated discussion. Given the lack of notability and meaningful coverage, the article does not justify its own space. Retaining it in its current state risks violating Wikipedia’s standards.

Step Conference

Annual event holds annual meetings. All refs are rather weak in WP:SIRS. UtherSRG (talk) 13:25, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events, Technology, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates. UtherSRG (talk) 13:25, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Step, which has grown into a really rather prominent regional startup event, is now being held in Dubai, Riyadh, Istanbul and San Francisco. The article's patchy and poorly written, some of the sources verge on the promotional (I agree with the SIRS reservation) and because it's a startup event you'll be skirting WP:NOTCRUNCHBASE - BUT there's enough there for WP:GNG and more out there to add to the article if it can find someone to care for it and give it a good home. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 15:11, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If kept, all of the names of attendees must be deleted. There are a lot of conferences out there that regularly have notable speakers and attendees but it's kind of embarrassing for them just to be name-dropped without appropriate context here. Reywas92^Talk 00:24, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Aramco Financial Services Company

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

Insufficient independent, reliable sources demonstrating notability per WP:GNG; sourcing relies heavily on the parent company (Saudi Aramco) business reporting. AndesExplorer (talk) 20:38, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Finance, Companies, and Saudi Arabia. AndesExplorer (talk) 20:38, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Certificate of Financial Responsibility written in 2014. Aramco Financial Services Company was written in 2006 and seems to be about the same subject matter. However, Certificate of Financial Responsibility seems to make more sense. In the long run, I'm not sure this subject matter is worthy of an article. — Maile (talk) 01:06, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the proposed target for a merger is only tangentially related. This is a company; the target is a process and rule. Bearian (talk) 01:42, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Article is about the same subject and it should merge with Certificate of Financial Responsibility Pasados (talk) 16:30, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't think merging to COFR makes sense. Maybe a merge to the parent company Saudi Aramco. I don't think there info on this page worth merging though, so delete makes more sense to me. Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 01:34, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Of the 13 subsidiaries listed in the Saudi Aramco infobox, only 4 of them have have spunoff articles and those 4 are all refineries in some form or fashion. None are discussed in-depth operationally under the parent company (uses bullet form) so there is nowhere viable to merge the uncited Aramco Financial Services Company paragraph. It could be under infobox at best. Astapor12 (talk) 00:17, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Saad bin Abdulaziz Al Qanbar

Sheikh Maqsoud Liberation Forces

article rely on speculative and unverifiable claims about the group activities, structure & history, which violates WP:NOR. Chronos.Zx (talk) 01:53, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Stay the history of the group must be understood, that is why there are sources and they are not speculative, they are real, Sources are taken from Battle of Aleppo (2024) and Operation Dawn of Freedom Farcazo (talk) 02:08, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete given the existence of the article's content on Sheikh Maqsoud. Azuredivay (talk) 06:59, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Opposition is like saying that Manbij Military Council should not exist because of the city of Manbij you have to learn to differentiate between city or locality and armed forces Farcazo (talk) 13:48, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Saying another editor "has to learn" something is casting aspersions. Don't. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:35, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I responded to the WP:GOCE copy edit request without realising it was up for deletion; I have assessed it as Stub, added a category and some minor fixes to the prose. I don't see any good reason to delete it, and I would tend to agree with Farcazo's point that the article for the Sheikh Maqsood locality should be separate from one about its armed militia. This is exacerbated by the fact that the locality article is almost entirely about the civil war, and barely mentions anything about its population, geography, amenities, landmarks, etc. that one would expect of a locality article. Perhaps instead of deleting this article, it could absorb more material from the locality article. — Jon (talk) 03:16, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly, he should stay because Sheikh Maqsoud is not the same as the militias that are there (that was what I tried to explain to Azuredivay but The Bushranger accused me of supposedly insulting him) and change the city's page, as you say, it has nothing to do with the city (neither its tourist sites nor its climate) and only with the Syrian civil war, I plan to merge the page with Ashrafieh Liberation Forces.

Merge to Sheikh Maqsoud -- in my opinion the militia is better discussed in the context of the history of the neighborhood with respect to the civil war in general, which is well discussed in the Sheikh Maqsoud article. It places it in context. Plus, Sheikh Maqsoud probably won't have too much trouble fitting the militia stuff and additional stuff about the locality itself -- it's not as of yet that long.
