Renominating the article two months after the "no consensus" decision in the second AfD. Reason is same: The exhibition fails to meet WP:EVENT. Lacks WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE and WP:DIVERSE. Arguably WP:TOOSOON. TC-BT-1C-SI (talk) 08:44, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Per source analysis by TCBT1CSI, Unable to meet WP:EVENT. Bakhtar40 (talk) 10:16, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Helping this along; this show seems like less of an arms show and more a tourist trap to get defense contractors to come to the country to show off their wares and get the attention of higher-ups; very doubtful that your average Riyadhi is attending this at all.
