2022 Malian coup d'état attempt

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Per WP:NOTNEWS. The allegations that a coup was being planned are seemingly only backed by Mali's government ("Mali's military government says", by Al Jazeera, and "Mali's military junta says", by France 24), and even in the contrary it seems that the coup remained as a plot and didn't translate into action, without transcendence after two months. I also should bring into question the credibility of a military junta that itself came from a coup d'état. NoonIcarus (talk) 23:43, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Oppose - the fact that the allegations of a coup d'état were all the more necessary to write an article on this subject JanPawel2025 (talk) 11:17, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Two months later, we still don't have any additional information, and the only source on which all the reports are based is the junta's only communiqué made on the subject: no accounts from eyewitnesses, no names, no places... As far as I can remember, there has always been some independent witnesses of the other coup attempts in the last years, in Mali and elsewhere in West Africa. This subject doesn't have its own article on the French WP either. It was most likely just another fake created in order to stir up the anti-French sentiment, and they've gone on to something else since then. BilletsMauves (talk) 17:19, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
