Notability (lack of reliable sources), Original research and Neutralily (the use of phrases like "important voice for the Palestinian resistance movement" and descriptions of Israeli censorship). LusikSnusik (talk) 15:00, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The sources used in the article seem fine, al Jazeera is of course going to be biased, but we can rewrite that out of the article. Oaktree b (talk) 15:51, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Speedy keep:~~ The current sourcing is already almost entirely international sources, many of them reliable. Dam have also been around for decades - long enough to have entered scholarship, and plenty of books, so there is absolutely no notability issue here, and article quality alone, unless the state of play is truly abominable, is not a good cause for deletion.

Redirect: Actually, this went in a weird direction when I was working to improve the page only to realize that it is a recent creation that duplicates DAM (band) (where it's actually a level-5 vital topic, so again, no notability question, though the point is now moot). I've now merged the content from this page to that page, so this page can now be redirected there and become a 'redirect with history'. @Zero0000, FYI.

great to fine a way for this page. I opt for redirect too Mozzcircuit (talk) 14:11, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oaktree b: FYI (should have pinged you too) Iskandar323 (talk) 14:23, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect doesn't bother me. Oaktree b (talk) 15:01, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Speedy keep:~~ for the same reasons as Iskander323. I'll also note that the OP is non-extended-confirmed and this article (by OP's own words) is related to ARBPIA. Therefore, per WP:ARBECR, OP is not allowed to even comment here let alone initiate the AfD. Zero^talk 04:48, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per Iskander323. Zero^talk 10:02, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
