• An Arabic-language source search would be quite useful. I am also attempting to figure out if the newspaper of the same name was a related business. The channel's closure did get covered in CNN Arabic [1]; the report linked indicates that there was a demonstration in front of Parliament in protest of its closure, and 18 people were arrested and brutalized by police. I would lean weak keep. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:37, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Just giving a second relist. I know that we do have some editors who participate in AFDs who are familiar with Arabic and Arabic language sources.
