Mosque of al-Tekkiyeh Ariha

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

An individual building that is not notable. The fact it is damaged does not make it notable. JetBlast (talk) 13:32, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Tentative redirect to Tekkiye Mosque, assuming confirmation that the name is just a differing transliteration/alternate version. I'm not terribly confident that they're the same, though: someone who is familiar with Damascus would be a help, as Tekkiyeh is not a unique term, it is specifically applied to Dervish-related sites.

 * Keep or redirect if Acroterion is correct. Obviously an historic builidng. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:40, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment - Why is the topic non-notable? Was this nomination for deletion based upon the suggested source searching per section D of WP:BEFORE? Northamerica1000(talk) 15:26, 14 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Its just a building at the end of the day. Do we create an article for every building that has been damaged in the world? --JetBlast (talk) 16:00, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's an historic building. It's not the fact that it's been damaged that makes it notable, but the fact that it's an historic mosque, as stated in the referenced document. And yes, we do create articles for historic buildings. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:04, 14 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - A brief trivial mention in a single source does not give enough weight to warrant an article. The article fails WP:GNG. This article's AfD is identical to Articles for deletion/Mosque al-Herak, so that's the one I'll be watching; no need to say the same comment and have the same discussion across multiple pages. - SudoGhost 16:21, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
