Nominator's rationale: This is a POV category. Iran denies that these groups like the Islamic Jihad or whatever groups are their proxies. And these groups consider themselves as a resistance movements against Western colonialism.--SharabSalam (talk) 06:44, 17 November 2019 (UTC) SharabSalam (talk) 06:44, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - this proposing statement is just a personal opinion claim, which is not a balance of reliable sources. We have a large number of WP:OR sources including reliable news networks, academia and political research institutes naming Hezbollah, PIJ and others as Iranian "proxies" - participating in respective Iran-Saudi Arabia proxy conflict and other violent events in the Middle East [1],[2],[3],[4]. Saying "Iran denies" - is WP:IDONTLIKEIT, especially if there are no sources brought for that Iranian denial.GreyShark (dibra) 06:51, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Categorizations should generally be uncontroversial.--SharabSalam (talk) 06:53, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Greyshark09 You have literally just added the category to the Houthis article which especially says that BOTH Iran and Houthis deny they are proxies.--SharabSalam (talk) 06:56, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
While many reliable sources say that Houthis are Iranian proxies. In this regard, we should follow WP:RS like Iran's proxies Hezbollah and Houthis under Trump's Maximum Pressure/.GreyShark (dibra) 06:57, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's the Western POV. The academic POV and what WP:OR WP:RSs say is that Houthis are not proxies of Iran [5].--SharabSalam (talk) 07:03, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Do not confuse POV and RS - different things. Any way, the source you brought is just playing with definition of proxy - it says "Although Houthis are not proxies of rival Iran, Tehran is definitely a supporter of the rebels."GreyShark (dibra) 07:29, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Of course Iran is going to support any group against any country that it is hostile to Iran either by their media or whatever. That is common sense. That doesn't mean that these groups are fighting for Iran. Like for example Hamas is fighting against Israel which most of the middle Eastern people consider it as a European invasion and Hamas consider itself as a resistance movement. Iran is a middle Eastern country and it is also against Israel that doesn't make Hamas a proxy group for Iran. Same thing can apply to the Houthis and the European-backed the Saudi--SharabSalam (talk) 07:36, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hamas is not so much fighting Israel now, it has been mainly fighting the Fatah and Salafist groups for the past several years. Hamas is now a proxy of Turkey and Qatar, but until the Syrian War Hamas had been a proxy of Iran.GreyShark (dibra) 10:40, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Iran is mainly against the Arab League, not so much against Israel.GreyShark (dibra) 10:41, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thats nonsense, Arab leaders which the Europeans support do not represent Arabs. They are dictators who were not democratically elected. All Arabs and indogeneus people of the middle East are against the European invasion of Palestine and all democratically elected presidents of Arabs are against Israel. Like Kais Saied, Mohamed Morsi etc. The Bolivian first indigenous president is not a friend of the European colony in Palestine. So these people are not proxies to Iran, but they share the same struggle and the same goal, they support each other but that doesnt make them proxies.--SharabSalam (talk) 08:17, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 19:04, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge to all parents per WP:SMALLCAT. After the deletion of several sub-portals, there is now only one Nigerian portal: Portal:Nigeria. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:54, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 19:00, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. Since the deletion of Portal:Geography of Kenya at WP:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Geography of Kenya, the only Kenyan portal is Portal:Kenya. So this category contains only one item: Category:Kenya portal. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:37, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
