This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Bahrain. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Bahrain|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Bahrain. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Asia.

I cannot find any evidence of this group existing. The closest references I can find are to Banu Hamid in medieval Spain and Banu Hamid/Hamidi in Saudi Arabia. ComradePoppy (talk) 17:36, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete This is completely unsourced and has been since 2013 when a speedy was declined, which was a shame. Banu Hammed would be the Children of Hammed and while there is a prominent UAE family name Al Hammadi, there's no 'Banu Hammad' as such in any RS I could locate (including specialist publications). There's a Qal'at Bani Hammad (also found at Qal'at Banu Hammad, because, well, transliteration's a bitch) in Algeria and some references to a Banu Hamad bedouin tribe in Northern Arabia (which would probably be related to Nom's Saudi Banu Hamid) but again, nothing of significance in RS. The Children of Hamad would be as ubiquitous in Arab nomenclature as Mr and Mrs Smith in English and unless and until someone writes a well sourced article about one or another of the various potential Banu Hamad targets, this can go.

• Delete - clearly fails WP:RS and seems to originate soley from WP:OR Grimforge (talk) 17:48, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete- so far not specific SIGCOV hits in my web searches so far, found this but unsure whether or not it talks specifically about this.Lorraine Crane (talk) 15:08, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
