Merger proposal

Formal request has been received to merge the article 1982 Arab Nations Cup into Arab Nations Cup; dated: September 2018. Proposer's Rationale: This very short article is all about a cancelled sporting event and the little content it has can be added into the respective target articles. Discuss here.

statistics provided are incomplete

The Arab Cup was played 3 times under the name of the Palestine Nations Cup. 1972 1973 1975. Therefore, the statistics provided are incomplete. Medjdi (talk) 19:55, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FIFA Arab Cup → Arab cup – Misleading. Hi, the article lists all the Arab cups while the partnership with FIFA only took place for the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup and the previous editions are not in partnership with FIFA [1], [2], [3]. Wokemanwhowalks (talk) 01:49, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: The FIFA president Gianni Infantino stated that the FIFA Arab Cup was going to continue under the umbrella of FIFA: see here. There have also been news recently that FIFA are likely to organise the next edition of the competition in 2025: see here. FIFA also acknowledged the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup as being a continuation of the previous Arab Cups: see here. The article should therefore not be moved as its current name is correct.

In principle, there was to be a partnership for 2023 [4], [5], at present it is only speculation for 2025 and previous editions are not in partnership with FIFA, but this article covers all Arab cups. Wokemanwhowalks (talk) 02:23, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article should only be moved in the event that the next edition of the tournament is officially announced without FIFA's involvement and with the name "Arab Cup". As of now, this has not happened, and as per my points made above, it looks very unlikely that this will happen. Hashim-afc (talk) 02:30, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are showing bad faith, there have been 13 editions and only one bears the name of the 2021 FIFA Arab cup, which already has an article.

Therefore, the title of the article is irrelevant, it's propaganda and a duplicate.

If you are not happy then you could create an article on the FIFA partnership of 2021 and (maybe) 2025.
