Arabic Legislations Encyclopedia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

no references, no newspaper or any website talking about it, how it is "The largest printed encyclopedia" (by Guinness World Records) and nobody talks about it? Ibrahim.ID »» 04:55, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete There's a reference to Guinness Book of World Records that's supposed to support that claim but it's not even that impressive even if it is legit. The article claims "It contains every piece of legislation from all the Arab countries.", if you do the same for English it will be way bigger. It has no article on the Arabic Wikipedia and the other language versions also only have Guinness as a reference.


 * The earliest and only search result for "Arabic Legislations Encyclopedia" that predates the creation of the article (27 August 2007‎) is which leads to this mess . There's a bunch  country flags you can click through. Does it list all their laws? I don't want to find that out.


 * The next earliest search result, from 15 December 2007, is, a newsletter(?) from Universiti Malaysia Sabah. Looks like a translation of its English article if you look at #2 on page 15.


 * I think I found its Arabic name in a different language's page history., any better search results for the Arabic characters in that link? BigGuy88 (talk) 06:21, 2 October 2016 (UTC)


 * the arabic name is (موسوعة التشريعات العربية) and it just 3 results only in google search in Arabic, two refs copied from Wikipedia and the third say "Guinness Book of World Records 1999- issue 2002 p.156" also, The arabic article has deleted due to WP:AFD (link), the encyclopedia itself doesn't exist, no website - PDF - book store -- Ibrahim.ID  »» 07:04, 2 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete does not appear to exist; possibly a hoax. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:51, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
