Redirect to Algeria at the World Athletics Championships: Not ready for main space, as it's entirely unsourced and the original creator is currently blocked from article space for failure to communicate. Draftification was contested so I believe redirecting to be the best option here. A relevant deletion discussion can be found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Algeria at the 2022 World Athletics Championships, where 16 other relevant articles were redirected. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Algeria at the 1993 World Championships in Athletics is also another relevant deletion discussion. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:01, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge All the information in this article (if we can call it that) is available in the World Athletics Championships Statistics Handbook, which is already included in the sources at Algeria at the World Athletics Championships. All the information can be merged into that article as covered by its citation. SFB 14:12, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and merged the material, given the previous deletion discussion on this, so recommend we just close this as merged. The material in the history was cited and appropriate. I think we all could have saved quite a bit of time here if we took that approach in the first place, which is what has previously been recommended in past discussions on this type of small delegation article.
