2019 Deir ez-Zor Protests

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unnotable, small-scale, uncoordinated, and sporadic protests (which aren't ongoing, contrary to the infobox) don't warrant an article separate from Eastern Syria insurgency (2017–present). Events are cited with unverified Twitter posts and other unreliable sources and the article takes a strong POV in favour of the protests and against the SDF, contrary to encyclopedic policy.

It's also questionable if the isolated protests in Deir ez-Zor are part of the wider 2018–19 Arab protests, as the article states. It's far from the same level as the Iraqi, Algerian, and Sudanese protests, despite it being placed as such in the Arab protests article.

Delete I Don't think it has reliable sources to have those significance up to noteworthy standards. Sheldybett (talk) 10:54, 15 June 2019 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lacking sustained WP:SIGCOV. The POV-pushing is an additional reason this article should be deleted, since Wikipedia is not the news and it appears this article is trying to create news that doesn't really exist on the ground.
