List is not helpful for readers. It only contains one major item, the Nile. Most of the information should be moved to Nile. The other topics are wadis, which are technically not rivers. ~ Tridwoxi (talk) (contribs) 18:33, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. The wadis, whether rightly or not, are included in Category:Rivers of Egypt. Outright deletion seems in any event a poor solution, rather than a reconsideration of scope/retitling, etc. Otherwise we have an unexplained gap in Category:Lists of rivers by country. postdlf (talk) 19:21, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• KEEP Deletion should be a last resort. You can rename it List of rivers and wadis of Egypt if you want. Dream Focus 01:00, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Or maybe something like List of watercourses in Egypt. I was going to suggest waterway but that apparently requires navigability. The things I learn on Wikipedia... : ) postdlf (talk) 14:26, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • That would also allow the Suez Canal (and other prominent canals? are there any?) to be included. Stevage 05:44, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep (original author). I wrote the article because I was curious what other rivers there were in Egypt, and there wasn't a list. If you search for such things, you'll see a fair number of articles about this fact on the web. Ergo, it *is* helpful for readers. Stevage 14:00, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep per all other "List of rivers in (country)" lists. Mjroots (talk) 19:21, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep. Valid list topic although the article needs some serious work. It's not a list in its current state, just some content about the Nile and its tributaries that belong on the Nile article. Ajf773 (talk) 09:08, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and add more names from Category:Rivers of Egypt. D4iNa4 (talk) 07:41, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, A good topic, article needs more work, maybe it's better to move it into draft, but should not be deleted. Alex-h (talk) 10:36, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Denial is not a river in Egypt.... But seriously, what others have said is accurate. This is notable and in line with what we have for other countries. Smartyllama (talk) 13:10, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
