Unable to find sustained significant coverage in English or Arabic. No lasting effects as defined by WP:EFFECT. News story in violation of WP:NOTNEWS. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:06, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events and Lebanon. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:06, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - clearly a noteworthy event and is supported by multiple reliable sources. - wolf 09:36, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Quick WP:BEFORE D1 search finds recent coverage from DW, Reuters, etc. Even without that, WP:NTEMP applies. Article needs touchup with investigation and societal repercussion (plus new sources), not deletion. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 15:50, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Last1in, literally no one needs to be wikilinked to BEFORE. If, instead, you had provided a few of the stories you found, and they were good, I could have closed this as a keep already. In the absence of such evidence I can't do that. Drmies (talk) 12:49, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Drmies, publicly calling me out for failing to do what AfD nominators no longer even bother with makes it clear that I no longer understand the process. Withdrawing my !vote. Thanks & Cheers, Last1in (talk) 11:04, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • -Erm... wtf just happened here? - wolf 03:27, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

        What happened is that I walked away rather than collect more nasty little asides from an Admin. If I want this kind of behvaiour, I can get it at the office. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 15:34, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep, haven't done a deep BEFORE, but I see some signs that this has been picked up into academic work.[1][2]. Alternatively a merge to Lebanese liquidity crisis may be appropriate. —siroχo 05:48, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
