Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of areas currently held by Syrian opposition
I'll be honest, I'm not seeing much from '''keep''' !voters here other than "it's pretty and |I like it". I think an article or map of this type chronicling the control of territory during the conflict would be a good idea once the conflict is concluded, but for as long as the situation is so fluid all that's being proposed here is a ticker. The crux of the problem here is that it's not just ''elements'' of the article which are prone to change often (as is the case in the Syrian Uprising article, or a biographical article concerning a recently deceased subject, for example) - the '''entirety''' of the content is transient and subject to change. In addition, because of the nature of conflict, it's inherently impossible to reliably verify the content that would be required for this article, especially since journalists have such limited access to the areas in question. It's important that we don't use wikipedia as an advocate or propaganda host for either side (even the side which appears undoubtedly "in the right" to most rational people
