Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gender roles in Afghanistan


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy keep per WP:SK. The nomination does not contain a valid rationale for deletion; none of the templates in the article are about topic notability, and the notion in the nomination of the topic being better covered in another article is subjective and open-ended, lacking qualification or explanation why. Furthermore, respondents have all supported retention. (Non-administrator closure) NorthAmerica1000 07:03, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. Although I agree that the article could use a little formatting and other cleanup, surely the "single source" and "personal essay" complaints don't apply to the wholesale inclusion of a public-domain work like this. An essay-like article is one that "states the Wikipedia editor's particular feelings about a topic, rather than the opinions of experts"; this article is entirely the product of experts' research! Since the source doesn't seem to have a biblography, some fact-checking seems to be in order. And that is the main issue as I see it: the editor dumped data without checking facts or revising for encyclopedic interest. Ringbang (talk) 21:05, 9 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep It's hard to argue that this isn't a notable topic. No particular reason to nuke the content, either. (ETA: actually, this is an excellent article. Obviously some more sources should be added eventually, but it's a well-done lift from a high-quality public domain source, nicely cited and wikified. It would be a shame to see this one go.) &there4; ZX95 [ discuss ] 12:26, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep, since this subject is covered by reliable sources: Gender and International Aid in Afghanistan: The Politics and Effects of Intervention, The Women of Afghanistan Under the Taliban, Afghan Women: Identity and Invasion, Women of Afghanistan in the Post-Taliban Era: How Lives Have Changed and Where They Stand Today, etc, etc.-- Brainy J  ~ ✿ ~ ( talk ) 21:33, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
