An article about a minor incident with no significant coverage. Fails WP:GNG. M.Bitton (talk) 23:16, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It remains an incident. I was simply adding more articles to Morocco's history on wikipedia. Lefootop (talk) 23:18, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A minor unknown incident that you're trying portray as a war. Let's see what the others think. M.Bitton (talk) 23:26, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, this article should not be deleted based on that reason. The content within the article is authentic and does not endorse any false narratives or misinformation. The sources cited are reputable and offer substantial information about this incident. I do in fact understand your point that this article is not well known, but that should not be a reason to delete the article as a whole. The fact that this particular event is not widely recognized does not diminish its significance or the legitimacy of having a dedicated article. 174.114.138.92 (talk) 23:39, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have never tried to portray as a war. The lists i put this incident on contain conflicts involving the country that is the subject of the list. For example, the 1958 rif riots can be found on the list of wars involving Morocco. Was it a war though? I don't think so. Lefootop (talk) 23:42, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Noting for the record that this AfD appears to be pursuant to a content dispute between M. Bitton and Lefootop at List of wars involving Morocco and List of wars involving the Soviet Union. The question of whether this was a war is, however, distinct from the question of whether this incident was notable. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 23:24, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is more to it that I'd rather not mention here. I nominated it so that the others can judge whether it's notable. M.Bitton (talk) 23:34, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
