Which Future for Bahrain

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested prod. No evidence provided for the notability of this report, independently of the uprising it chronicles. This report may be used as a source for the 2011 Bahraini uprising article, but there's nothing that warrants an article dedicated to the report itself.

Userfy, and I suggest using this as a source for an article on the 2011 Bahrain uprising rather than making this source itself the subject of an article There is a trio of articles with the same story. The subject of the reports is notable, but there is little or no indication of wp:notability for the report. Sources given in comments are generally the author of the report itself, or just condensations of or listings of the report. The content of the article is a presentation of the assertions of the report rather than being about the report. North8000 (talk) 21:59, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete after merging the key points from this article into the 2011 Bahraini uprising article as suggested by North8000. kashmiri (talk) 00:34, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge the six NGO Bahrain 2011 human rights reports, all of which are under AfD, into a single article something like 2011 human rights reports on Bahrain. A link to the governmental commission and its report should go in the article. Removing the redundant background and see also sections of the individual articles will reduce the overall length of the combined article. The six AfD links are:
1. local,
2. HRWF,
3. Amnesty,
4. ICG,
5. HRW,
6. Physicians

I find the Merge as a good compensatory idea. I think there are 2 more ICG reports and 2 more HRWF reports as well, but I stopped working on that since this issue was raised. There is also one more local report by Al Wefaq to be published. Also there is the Irish Fact Finding Delegation On Bahrain, which according to these articles [1], [2], [3], [4] should have reached a conclusion, but I couldn't find it anywhere. If it's not too much, I asked you (Boud) to take a look at that topic as well as give your opinion about it. Bahraini Activist (talk) 11:57, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
