List of participants at the Battle of Badr : blow it up.  ltb d l ( talk ) 01:01, 29 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note:  This discussion has been included in the list of Lists-related deletion discussions .  ltb d l ( talk ) 01:01, 29 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge to Battle of Badr .  A bit messy, but still not a good reason to delete the article.  Plus the battle is already notable .  Draftification can be an alternative based on what you gave.

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 03:12, 29 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .  Nothing of value in this article, just a whole lot of non-notable names, even the blue linked articles are very questionable.  Ajf773 ( talk ) 09:30, 29 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .  Even if it were possible for such a list to be reliably sourced (which it clearly isn't currently, and almost certainly never could be), there is nothing inherent in mere participation in a battle that would justify it under Wikipedia notability criteria.  Were such lists permitted, we could potentially end up with monstrosities like a List of participants at the Battle of Stalingrad with entries running into the millions.  Not what Wikipedia is for.

Thanks, — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:47, 5 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge , would be more useful to include in the battle of Badr page via a "participants" section or something like that rather then outright deletion.  Noorullah ( talk ) 09:00, 5 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] A question for those proposing a merge .  What source are you suggesting should be cited?  Even if a list of this length were to be appropriate (I contend that it isn't), we cannot add it without proper sourcing meeting WP:RS requirements.  AndyTheGrump ( talk ) 09:05, 5 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ AndyTheGrump Reply At the bottom of the article, there seems to be a cited list of the individuals who participated, so that could serve as a source if it complies with WP:RS .  Noorullah ( talk ) 18:57, 10 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .  Two references and neither reliable.  References for history pages need to be from a scholarly literature.  The page fails wp:n .

Relisting comment: Relist to discuss the merits of merging vs deletion.  Please add new comments below this notice.  Thanks, The Wordsmith Talk to me 23:32, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .  I've got to agree with the main points stated above.  Merely being in a battle doesn't merit a list article.  Merging isn't appropriate, because there's nothing to merge: a reliable source, currently lacking, is required for each item to be merged.  Larry/Traveling_Man ( talk ) 23:51, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .  I've also got to agree with the main points above, merely being in a battle doesn't give an individual any notability, it feels very WP:COOKIE to include every person, and as AndyTheGrump said, articles listing the participants at other battle would run into the millions.  It would be little more than a database .  Shaws username .  talk .  00:40, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.  Please do not modify it.
