Talk:Battle of Afrin City

New Article

[edit]

I've started this article, to differentiate the attack on Afrin city, from the attack on Afrin Canton, which are often confused as they are both referred to as Afrin. Considering the size of the city, this is a substantial sized city in Syria, so this battle would be justified in having its own article.

Please do not delete the article and re-direct

[edit]

Please note - Editor abcdef Individual editors are not allowed to delete articles by themselves.... please see WP:AFD. Standard WP practice, if you want the article to be deleted, is to nominate it for AFD, and indicate a reason as per wikipedia policy, why you think the article should be deleted. At that point, all editors will have the opportunity to discuss if the article should be deleted or not. Thanks! Deathlibrarian (talk) 12:10, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be deleted

[edit]

Afrin battle has not yet began, also the article is heavily biased, not neutral written, full of misinformation. Beshogur (talk) 23:44, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The city has been encircled, and Erdogan has announced the TAF are preparing to go in, so it would seem to be the first stage of the battle. I'll have a look for the bias in the article, was there anything specific that struck you as biased? Deathlibrarian (talk) 01:41, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Beshogur, I've gone through, inserted more links, tried to reduce the bias - please let em know if that is ok, or if there is anything in particular that is an issue. Deathlibrarian (talk) 02:13, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Article should be deleted per WP:CRYSTAL. The battle may start soon, and if it does, restart at Battle of Afrin, not this awkwardly phrased title. "The Battle for Afrin City" doesn't follow how any other modern battle article is named. GodsPlaaaaan (talk) 23:05, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
AfD discussion here. GodsPlaaaaan (talk) 23:41, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Article has been renamed, thanks for the suggestion GodsPlaaaaan.Not sure you have done the AFD properly, but as mentioned before, but the time you do, the Turks will probably have taken Afrin, things moving pretty fast. Deathlibrarian (talk) 07:33, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

[edit]

I have added an infobox for the article - I haven't added a lot of these - if anyone is handy, or knows more concrete information, please help out filling it out to make it helpful to people coming to this page, to see whats up. Deathlibrarian (talk) 06:15, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No battle took place

[edit]

Article is misleading and no battle took place. Beshogur (talk) 12:00, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
