This article has multiple issues because its contents are mainly overlapped with Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict, and does not meet WP:NEVENTS, WP:PLOT and WP:NOR -- Wendylove (talk) 08:12, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Oppose : Firstly, half of the body of the article is about Iran-Iraq war, not Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict and secondly, in my humble opinion, this article needs to be expanded (with other current and ancient conflicts), not deleted. ---Wikaviani  (talk) (contribs)  08:49, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment what sources say there is an "Arab–Iranian conflict"? The one source I checked that doesn't fail verification on this point is the 2020 book (so it's probably too soon to tell if its ideas are the majority view or not), and it only deals with the interwar era, long before this article which starts in 1980.

 * Comment the article has already been nominated for deletion in May 2020, resulting in "Keep" consensus. Participants of that 2020 discussion should be notified of this concurrent re-proposal.GreyShark (dibra) 08:07, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
