The result was delete‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. Could have closed as N/C, but as Jfire points out (thank you!), the sourcing isn't there and we also have some verifiability concerns. Star  Mississippi  18:55, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Alexandria Aquarium

It exists, but I couldn't establish what makes it notable. Other language WPs exist but have similar issues with lack of sourcing and evidence of notability. Google check didn't come up with sufficient evidence of notability - I am aware though that I may be missing something as this is not an area of the world I am familiar with.

 * Keep per WP:ITSANAQUARIUM. Tourist attractions are usually listed in guidebooks and are generally considered notable. The citations from Egypt Today are a good example of the kind of coverage this sort of public attraction often gets. Toughpigs (talk) 05:02, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG. I don't think this is a good example for WP:ITSANAQUARIUM. The most extensive guidebook coverage I've been able to find is in a National Geographic guidebook, whose coverage consists of this sentence: Across the street is the Marine Aquarium, where the fish, sea turtles, and Nile crocodiles, housed in small and dirty glass tanks, are barely more alive. On TripAdvisor it's 31 of 69 things to do in Alexandria. So I don't believe the Egypt Today sources, which say things like the ultimate sea collection and one of the most important tourist attractions in the city, should be considered reliable on this subject. Note that Arabic wikipedia claims that the photo on the page is of a different museum. Jfire (talk) 18:41, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
