The result was speedy keep. Withdrawn. The news coverage was slow and there were initially only routine reactions and unnamed sources, but I'm seeing evidence of significance now. (non-admin closure) w umbolo   ^^^  22:33, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Proclamation on Recognizing the Golan Heights as Part of the State of Israel

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Redirect this 200-word stub to Golan Heights. Almost all of it is already mentioned there, and a sub-section can be created there if this gains significant continued coverage. An article is not justified as there is little in-depth coverage, no lengthy proceedings or actions or protests, and WP:NOTNEWS applies. w umbolo  ^^^  10:17, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. This has at least 2 months of coverage pre-dating the announcement (e.g. this from 28 Jan - and a bunch more in Hebrew and English - a bit hard to find now with the current news swamping the sidebar with fake results - but was obvious enough for me to make this comment on 13 March). The Golan Heights article is not the place for extended content on US announcements - long term it should collapse there to a one liner. Even a very cloudy crystal ball shows this will have continuing future coverage. I'm not sure I need to invoke WP:RAPID here (given the pre-dating speculative coverage on this), but it does apply regarding future continuing coverage. Icewhiz (talk) 10:23, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. The issue is a decision over a mtter that has been a controversy for over 50 years, and by itself is subject to international controversy. --Midrashah (talk) 10:28, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article is a stub for now because the topic is new, but it will unquestionably continue to attract controversy and the article will build content over the coming months and years. Mccapra (talk) 11:37, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. One of the biggest developments in the dispute for the Golan Heights since 1967. Nice4What (talk) 12:34, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. This topic is extremely important, and it deserves to have its own article, in the same way as United States recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel. Although stub for now, I am sure it will be expanded over time, and possibly very soon as events develop. --Sundostund (talk) 13:29, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
