Academy of the Arabic Language in Cairo

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I can't find any source to verify this organization is notable, sources seem to contradict themselves on the founding year (1934 for / but for example suggests it already had its 14th session then, and/or might have been created from a reorganization of something called the Royal Academy of the Arabic Language?), the article cites no sources. Maybe there are better sources in Arabic...? Anyway, even if it exists, we need better sources for notability. Can anyone help rescue this? Verifying the year of establishment is hardly enough for WP:NORG or WP:GNG. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:37, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep The Academy is covered in lots of sources including the Encyclopedia of Arabic Language and Linguistics, as one would expect. There are equivalent articles in 10 other language Wikipedias  and the Arabic version is naturally more comprehensive explaining, for example, that it was founded in 1932 but started work in 1934.  See WP:NEXIST and WP:NOTCLEANUP. Andrew🐉(talk) 22:40, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Which volume and pages? I cannot find any discussion of the topic in that encyclopedia. Maybe I am looking at the wrong volume/edition but google book search for "Encyclopedia of Arabic Language and Linguistics" "Academy of the Arabic Language" gives me no useful results. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 01:32, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: Unless this article can provide more reliable sources with more content, I do not see how it meets Wikipedia article standards.Jjj84206 (talk) 16:04, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete The subject lacks multiple in-depth reliable sources about it. I couldn't find any myself. The only thing that might work is the encyclopedia that Andrew mentioned, but I couldn't find mention of the school in the two that I have access to. Maybe it's in one of the other volumes though, but it sounds like it's just a brief mention and there would have to be more then that anyway. --Adamant1 (talk) 20:21, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: Article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:ORGCRIT / WP:NSCHOOL. No sources in article and WP:BEFORE showed no WP:IS WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and in depth. The encyclopedia mentioned above fails WP:V (per comment/question, unless someone has more info) and a single territary source would not show notability.   // Timothy ::  talk  03:00, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
