Lebanese government of July 2005

totally disputed article not referenced, attack page Eli + 14:53, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Containing disputed content is not a ground for deletion, and if this is an attack page, it seems to require further explanation as to why it is one. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:40, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. We need a page on the 2005-2008 cabinet, even if the current version is inadequate. --Checco (talk) 15:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and clean up if needed there are plenty of sources such as this on which to base the page on. (A also think the nominator has added an excess of clean up tags on the page, two or three would be enough). Davewild (talk) 17:52, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep Nothing wrong with having an article on a government, even if it's a government formed in chaos and surrounded by controversy: if there are big problems with the text, cut it down to a stub and rebuild, rather than bringing it to AFD. Nyttend (talk) 22:40, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I assume the nominator has problems with the introduction rather than the list of members of government, something solved by reverting to, for example, this revision (or perhaps a newer one). I am also confused about two things. First, the nominator can't possibly believe that this tagspam is constructive or even likely to get results, and tagging an article for improvements while all but simultaneously nominating for deletion makes even less sense, as generally tags are not dealt with for weeks, months, or rarely, years. In any case, this is an automatically notable topic that our encyclopedia should have, and as such, it requires a strategy aimed at improvement. --Dhartung | Talk 23:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, notable. Everyking (talk) 08:06, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notable per Everyking. Additionally, what adds to the notability of this article is the fact that the Lebanese government, cabinet, and distribution of ministers was one of the main reasons of the Hezbollah and other March 8 Alliance civil disobedience, as well as the reason behind the most recent conflicts in lebanon.
