1960 political clashes in the Iraqi Cigarette Workers Union

This article only uses one source, a short three-paragraph section of a book. It seems as if it does not pass WP:GNG due to lacking significant coverage. Two, twicetalk 05:18, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Lets move it to Iraqi Cigarette Workers Union. Rathfelder (talk) 07:24, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - I'd challenge the notion that the event wasn't notable. The fact that the article only had one reference doesn't mean it doesn't pass WP:GNG, notability is not to be judged only on the sources in the article at present but rather what references would be available. See for example: "The severest of all tests came in November 1960, when , following Communist reverses in the elections of the Tobacco Workers ' Union , thousands of workers staged anti - Government demonstrations leading to violent clashes. They protested that the elections had been rigged in order to defeat Muhammad Ghabban , the militant President of the Tobacco Workers ' Union . Several workers were killed or injured and more than a hundred arrested in the course of the conflict." --Soman (talk) 10:29, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per Soman. There are good sources covering the topic in-depth. The subject is of key importance to the history of Iraq and Wikipedia has an admitted WP:BIAS against topics outside of Europe and North America of which we must be conscious.--User:Namiba 12:24, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
