 * WP:TROUT slap to the nominator for not checking the history before nominating, which shows that the list was blanked by one editor immediately after it was kept (contrary to that editor's wishes) in the last AFD. Restore to previous state and speedy keep. postdlf (talk) 21:40, 28 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep: I have reverted the article to the version identified by User:Postdlf, which is a fairly clearly valid list article even if it could do with some further clarification of its criteria for inclusion - I would suggest that these should be natives, nationals and inhabitants of Bahrain as it was defined in their lifetimes (since the late 18th century, this would be the state ruled by the House of Khalifa, but before that it would cover eastern Arabia from Kuwait through to northern Oman). A quick look indicates that this would include a clear majority, though not all, of the names on the restored list. We should probably have a separate list of people using Bahrani as a surname, which would include a substantial proportion of the entries not fulfilling the criteria I am suggesting.

 * Keep per the rationales of Postdlf and PWilkinson above. North America1000 10:28, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
