Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2014 July 2

Template:History of the Arab League member states – Not an issue for DRV. WP:TfD would be the correct venue for requesting deletion of this template. – IronGargoyle (talk) 12:34, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it.

This Template is totally wrong in its description, many of these dynasties where not Arab, but Turk or Kurd or Berber. Only the Caliphates are Arab. The Tulunids for example are Turk, as well as the Zengids and the Mamluks, and The Ayyubids are Kurds. Although all of these dynasties naturally knew and spoke Arabic, but still we cannot catigorize them as "Arabs", that is if we wanted a category based on race (Back in their times they were only "Muslims"). Removing Most of these Dynasties would leave the template thin and Empty, so i think its better if its Deleted.باسم (talk) 05:55, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Err, you're looking for WP:TFD, where templates can be nominated for deletion. I suspect you'd be unsuccessful though, because you seem to have mistaken the Arab League for Arabs. The Tulunids (e.g.) ruled Egypt, which is most definitely a member of the Arab League. Wily D 08:59, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
