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

1. 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.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Iraq|~~~~}} 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 Iraq. 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.

It seem you have selected every single article related to this film to be deleted. And can you define " notability" reason? Naderjamie6 (talk) 17:52, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How much " notability" is need for a Kurdish film produced independently? Or only big budget Hollywood film are allowed to to have Wikipedia article? Can you please explain. Naderjamie6 (talk) 17:55, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The film has all the qualified citation and reference needed as many other film article on Wiki. It is a Kurdish film based on Epic of Gilgamesh, released in theater with references. How can that not be notable? Wendy2024 (talk) 18:07, 27 December 2024 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 19:15, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a Kurdish film and it is important to stay as part of Wikipedia. Citation and required link provided to verify the identity of the film. If this is deleted, then most of the other article about Kurdish films will have to be deleted also if the reason giving is "Not having notability ".

• Delete -- The film doesn't meet the specific notability guidelines for films, and I've not been able to find any independent sources that mention the film (beyond IMBd, which doesn't establish notability.) SirCharles (talk) 19:07, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: No sigcov in Kurdish or English news

• Redirect to Kurdish cinema or to the director’s page, if i kept. There are some sources mentioning the film. Might meet WP:NFIC as a production from Kurdistan.-Mushy Yank. 00:39, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Sounds like some version of the theft really happened [1] but that in no way affects notability for an unrelated film. I find no references for this. Oaktree b (talk) 01:49, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The director doesn't seem to be famous enough to own an article on Wikipedia. NameGame (talk) 17:32, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you define what "doesn't seem famous use Enough?" mean and what standard you go by? If you delete articles by the "doesn't seem famous use Enough?" reason, more than one third of articles in Wikipedia will have to be delete. Naderjamie6 (talk) 17:50, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And how much "Famous" is enough for a Kurdish filmmaker to have its own article on Wiki? Can you provide rules and regulation for such "Fame?" Naderjamie6 (talk) 17:54, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reason given "doesn't seem to be famous enough" is not enough to have article deleted. The filmmakers is Kurdish, what kind of fame would required by Wikipedia standard to have article listed?

This article is about a Kurdish Filmmaker and it is important to stay as part of Wikipedia. Citation and required link provided to verify the identity of the filmmaker. If this is deleted, then most of the other article about Kurdish Filmmakers will have to be deleted also if the reason giving is "Not famous enough".

• Merge with Kurdish cinema: sources mention him, or his films, so not opposed to keep one page merging them all (see AfDs about 2 of his films, same nominator). See https://qantara.de/en/article/kurdistan-100-stories-future-republic and similar sources (please see Afds about the films) -Mushy Yank. 00:30, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. He has written and directed dozen books and film in Kurdish, in US, UK and Kurdistan, and still active. Also many citation to show him as being known be it in Kurdish or English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BonitueBera (talk • contribs) 00:33, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
