Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Oman

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

Edit this page 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.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Oman|~~~~}} 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 Oman. 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.

One amongst many poorly sourced and unverifiable articles by this editor. Doesn't seem notable. HistoryofIran (talk) 04:03, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events, History, Military, Iran, and Oman. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:14, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete How many of these are there? Because this user needs to stop and these articles bulk removed. Unverifiable and a deeply dubious presentation - there was indeed a Wahhabi siege of Muscat in 1811 but it was lifted with no involvement of Qajars. A plea of help went to Iran at the end of 1811 and a force of 1,500 Persians and four guns returned to battle the Wahhabi forces in 1812 but not at Muscat, but Nakhal, Samail and Izki. This article is a whole confused mess that inflates a period of scrappy fighting throughout Oman to the status of a 'battle' and with an incorrect date. Lorimer, page 444 refers. BTW, there IS an article for the Battle of Izki and that's a hot mess as well! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 11:25, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
