Ras Al Khaimah Media Free Zone

Doesn't appear to meet the notability guidelines for organisations (the subject is a free trade zone, so a sort of organisation, though not a company) or the general notability guideline. I haven't been able to find any sources that are any more substantial or any more recent than those in the article, so I think deletion is preferable to merging this into Ras Al Khaimah. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 15:30, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep with Merge. Merge with Ras Al Khaima as per short text in WP:MERGEREASON.--PATH SLOPU 16:53, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There's almost no text, just a list of individuals associated with the subject. The sources are all 2006/2007, and they are all reporting announcements that the zone will be set up - there's nothing saying that it ever actually was. I did find this, which might be related or something else entirely - but none of the people listed on our article are mentioned on the 'leadership' page. So we can't tell whether the zone ever actually came into existence, and we are listing people by name who seem not to be involved with it any more if it was set up. Delete and start again with a new article under the proper name (probably Ras Al Khaima Economic Zone, with a small section about the Media Zone).

~~Keep~~ Merge The article is terrible. The subject is notable on the basis of its citations. I'm not aware of a recency criteria when it comes to a notability judgement. It could be defunct, but still notable. It was covered with significance in Gulf News and Khaleej Times, both of which are reliable and secondary, and probably as independent as you'll find when it comes to local politics in a small country. romnempire (talk) 04:38, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Change of heart, I think this is unlikely to be expanded, so per WP:ATD-M it should get merged somewhere. romnempire (talk) 04:56, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
