Pages on "Taharror" and "Shi'ites Against the War"
[edit]Please forgive me if I have not made this request correctly; I am new here. Apparently there were pages on both of these anti-war Shia groups which were deleted for not having sufficient external sources. Since I haven't seen the deleted articles, I have no way to evaluate whether I should request a reconsideration of the deletions or attempt to provide an article. I do believe the omission of pages on these groups while maintaining pages on their opposing groups (Hezbollah and Amal) prevents readers from accessing information that would provide a more comprehensive view of the situation in Lebanon, particularly in the Shia community (of which I am myself not a part); I just think the information should be available to Wikipedia readers. Again, please accept my apology if I have not submitted this request correctly; I'll happily accept guidance on how to go about seeking inclusion of information on these movements.

- Hi, well Taharor exists. I'm guessing that is just a variant spelling from what you want. It does need expanding. I do not find Shi'ites Against the War or Shi'ites against the war either deleted or undeleted, so I am uncertain what article you want there. It may be best to start fresh.

- Hi, and thanks for your response!! I also thought it might be a different spelling of the same thing, but it isn’t. “Taharor” is a completely different movement, in a different country (Egypt, not Lebanon). Following a link to Wikipedia from a search engine result for “Taharror” led me to “the page does not exist”, which led me to a “deletion log” where I saw this:
- 03:38, 13 August 2024 Explicit talk contribs deleted page Taharror (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Taharror (XFDcloser))
- Assuming the reason for the deletion was valid, I’d like to see the deleted article so I can assess whether I might be able to sufficiently improve it. (There are references to this movement, with sources cited, on other pages.)
- Thanks!!! Miryurist (talk) 20:32, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, got it. See User:Miryurist/Taharror where I've put it in your userspace for development. LadyofShalott 21:03, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- And that led me to find and do similarly with User:Miryurist/Shiites Against War. Both of these can now be worked on in your userspace until ready ready for main. :) LadyofShalott 21:07, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! :-) Miryurist (talk) 21:15, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- I revised the article with additional material and sources, and hit the "publish" button, but a search for "Taharror" still results in a "page does not exist" message. What do I need to do for the page to be published? (Or is it just a waiting period?) Thanks!! Miryurist (talk) 03:02, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Miryurist, you would have to "Move" the page to mainspace. You may want to have an experienced Wikipedian look it over before doing that. As I am unable to read your sources, I do not feel qualified to be that person. WikiProject Lebanon and WikiProject Islam would probably be good places to start.
