Attacks affecting Lebanese industry in the 2006 Lebanon war

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As possible WP:POVFORK of 2006 Lebanon war. This article isn't referenced on the 2006 Lebanon war page, and this page doesn't link there. It's an oddly specific page. FuriouslySerene (talk) 14:00, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as per WP:POV fork bringing Unnecessary detail on minor topic in extremely minor conflict.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:56, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Or REDIRECT, see my comment below.E.M.Gregory (talk)


 * Yes, it's odd that it's not linked to from the main article on the war. I've added it as a see also link, which should also have the effect of getting some more eyeballs on this topic. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:59, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I do see that Category:World War II strategic bombing lists has somewhat similar articles that do list attacks and damage, such as Bombing of Frankfurt am Main in World War II. Likely there are such lists for other wars? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:05, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Except, this was a very small "war." The notability of WWII bombing raids is well validated. But, more significantly, that damage is well sourced. This page is heavily sourced to the The Daily Star (Lebanon), so the POV is clear, but notability and reliability of are not. And, given the minor nature of this war, a whole article is probably WP:UNDUE.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:51, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That's your opinion. I daresay the 1000+ civilians who died in this small war wouldn't it see it so minorly. We don't have a policy WP:SUFFICIENTCARNAGE. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:39, 5 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Actually, Category:Lists of civilian casualties in the War in Afghanistan (2001–14), which is then organized by year, seems to be rather like this page. The main article's not going to be able to accommodate a list of such length, I think. It does have a section for 2006_Lebanon_War but nothing for infrastructure damage, overall. There is some crossover with Casualties of the 2006 Lebanon War. I'm trying to think if a partial merge somewhere is possible (and desirable).Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:30, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree, I don't think this page be kept but a selective merge to Casualties of the 2006 Lebanon War might make sense. I don't think a redirect is necessary, because the title is a very implausible search term and no other page links here. FuriouslySerene (talk) 15:41, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * selective merge Redirect  to ~ a paragraph in the article on the war, which already has a section on environmental on archaeological damage.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:53, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2006 Lebanon War. It's already has the section about damage there, including Lebanon and Israel. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 08:11, 5 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I'd agree with the nominator on some kind of selective merge. Now, as to what gets merged, well, that'll be sorted out in the normal editing process (if there is such a thing when it comes to the Middle East on Wikipedia). But the main article does seem to be lacking in some details about key damage to Lebanese infrastructure, above and beyond historic sites. And maybe there's useful content that can be moved to 'Casualties of the 2006 Lebanon War', too, I dunno. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:13, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect as this seems best, perhaps no solidly necessary deletion needs and this could be moved there. SwisterTwister   talk  01:44, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
