Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ba'ath takes power in Syria and Iraq
Reads as a short essay in its current form but it can be cleaned up.  I'm sure sources are abundant as military takeovers are usually a pretty big deal.  The page should be renamed to something more formal such as "1963 Ba'ath party coup d'etat".  This doesn't violate #NEWS anymore than the article about the US_Airways_Flight_1549|recent plane wreck
