Syrian government

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I am afraid this disambig is misleading. Syrian government just refers to the government of Syria, which has de jure and de facto authority in the country. The fact that some parts of the country are controlled by other entities some of which call themselves governments does not make them Syrian government. Ymblanter (talk) 06:38, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related page, per my rationale below. wbm1058 (talk) 15:37, 12 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Restore redirect to Council of Ministers (Syria). It is, without a doubt, the prmary topic. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 10:41, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment agree with Finnusertop MaskedSinger (talk) 12:15, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Restore redirect, but add a section to the article noting the existence of opposition movements which assert claims of being the legitimate government of Syria. bd2412  T 01:15, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment: This is a duplicate, created in error, of Syrian government (disambiguation). — Gorthian (talk) 03:09, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Syrian government (disambiguation). So this is a defacto proposal to delete Syrian government (disambiguation) as this is not an ambiguous topic. We need an article about the topic of "Syrian government", even if that article says there is no Syrian government or says that there are multiple Syrian governments. This is a WP:Broad-concept which can be discussed either in a separate article at this title or in the lead section of Council of Ministers (Syria) which should clearly explain that they control most, but not all of Syria. The current configuration is not acceptable and Syrian government (disambiguation) should be deleted. Comment at Talk:Syrian government (disambiguation): This entry is absolutely grotesque: there is only one Syrian government, the one represented at the UN, and the only thing this partisan entry is trying to do is to create ambiguity, certainly not any "disambiguation". – wbm1058 (talk) 15:14, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Syrian government (disambiguation). Redirect Syrian government to Council of Ministers (Syria). This removes 2 spurious disambiguation pages. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 22:55, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Restore redirect per Finnusertop Cambial Yellowing(❧) 10:28, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
