This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Oman. 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|Oman|~~~~}} 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 Oman. 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 Middle East.

Article covering an incident where a scheduled airline departed the runway at Muscat International Airport after landing. No injuries or substantial damage to the aircraft. The subject does not meet WP:NEVENT standards requiring lasting significant coverage in reliable sources, and no lasting impact or changes to procedures have been identified.

I originally redirected this article to Muscat International Airport#Accidents and incidents as a WP:ATD, however the creator reverted the change. After further reviewing the sourcing though, I don't think this incident even meets the mark for inclusion in the airport page. nf utvol (talk) 11:35, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Redirect - I would like to avoid deletion by redirecting to Muscat International Airport#Accidents and incidents Yousuf31 (talk) 13:45, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I would normally say redirect as an WP:ATD, but it is so unremarkable that surely it will be removed at target article, and the redirect would end up on RFD. Protoeus (talk) 17:59, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Absolutely unremarkable incident, that we don't cover per NEVENT. I know of at least 3 runway excursions at my home airport that aren't even mentioned in its article for the same reason LightlySeared (talk) 19:00, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
