2020 United Arab Emirates explosions

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:LASTING and WP:NOTNEWS. Coverage of the incident benefited from the recent Beirut explosion and the fact that fatalities involved foreigners. However this pale in comparison with the historic Lebanon explosion. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 12:33, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: There are a number of articles on Google news, etc, all relevant to these explosions. However, there is little if any notability beyond the these explosions to merit a separate article. --Whiteguru (talk) 10:57, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: Does not pass WP:EVENTCRIT per WP:LASTING and the coverage it does have is not WP:INDEPTH (sadly these events have become routine). WP:NOTNEWS.   // Timothy ::  talk  17:09, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
