Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable Internet encyclopedia with <10,000 articles. Most coverage is from Wikimedia projects or Facebook. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:26, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Minor wiki without sufficient independent coverage. MBisanz ^talk 06:36, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This article has interwiki links with another 8 languages, the first wikipedia directed to Egyptian readers, developing quickly and caused a lot of contreversy even during proposal stage, starting depate that is referenced using independent sources. It also has more articles than the Dutch Low Saxon Wikipedia wich has a page on enwikipedia.--Ghaly (talk) 16:26, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
keep Wikipedia Masri is not only written in the language of the Egyptians for the Egyptian readers but it is also a secular wiki, something very important in a region dominated by religious and fanatical torment. Masri wiki came under attack from these corners, but it took the challenge and grew steadily. It would be really sad and very bad for the intellectual world if it be deleted. Please show me a historical article on egyptian wiki that was taken over from another project. On the contrary, other projects copied articles from masri wiki, as it is, in Egyptian.

Redirect to List of Wikipedias. Deletion is not necessary when an article can be converted to a redirect -- and per WP:BEFORE, unnecessary deletions are to be avoided.—S Marshall ^Talk/_Cont 15:40, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are independent sources that discuss this Wikipedia -- mostly blogs, but at least some people have taken notice of the Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia, for better or for worse. In the past I have recommended redirecting articles about other language Wikipedias to List of Wikipedias because of a lack of independent sources. That's not the case here. By the way, participants in this discussion should keep in mind that all we are discussing here is whether the English Wikipedia should have a separate article about the Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia. The English Wikipedia does not have articles about all other languages' editions of Wikipedia, just some of them, and the Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia itself is not going to go away regardless of how this discussion ends. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:13, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
