Qabailistan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable. The sources cited are not using this term. A news search shows less than 10 hits I propose redirecting to Federally Administered Tribal Areas, where the content is lifted from.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 11:50, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Support redirect per nom. Avg W (talk) 12:16, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Federally Administered Tribal Areas, the section already includes the information needed. Everything else in Qabailistan article is a copy/paste of FATA article except the name Qabailistan such as demographics and other details. I tried to redirect the article previously hoping that we would not need this AFD but I was reverted. Sheriff &#124; ☎ 911 &#124; 14:14, 9 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment. Please expand it on its own authority (not from FATA) to explain that and it may have a chance of not being deleted. Accesscrawl (talk) 15:24, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, please expand it rather than deletion. We also have other articles about proposed provinces in Pakistan, like Saraikistan which exist despite being less sourced than Qabailistan. Khestwol (talk) 18:24, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Saraikistan is not a good example, the proposed area for that covers multiple existing provinces so we cannot redirect it to one province page but here Qabailistan was just a name proposed for one region and that name proposal also just have nominal press coverage, the proposal died in the womb, did not even make it to infancy. There will be no future press coverage as well but we will have an article for it in Wikipedia just because a couple of folks mentioned that name. Also, the article you created presumed that the region of that name already exists if it was not for me to maintain due weight.

 * Keep per coverage in WP:RS. Lorstaking (talk) 04:47, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect, with very limited content merge, to Federally Administered Tribal Areas. It was an idea which a tribal elder shared in a single press interview in 2012, later picked up by a few other newspapers. It never gained any traction and can be considered a single event. — kashmīrī  <sup style="font-family:Candara; color:#80F;">TALK  13:27, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
