[edit] Chop Chop Square

Stub was undeniably POV and one source was a blog, but the other seems to be reputable. Was tagged for speedy deletion by a local, so I have brought it here for a wider audience. See also Deera Square. -- nae'blis 22:43, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete - There is a hole downtown with some water where people go so i will create an article for, "The Watering Hole". Pardon the example but this is defintley speedy material. Verhy short article with No Context. (A7) - Change to Merge Per comments and noms below Chris Kreider 11:14, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep The source is legit, and this isn't just a 'local watering hole' -- it's a venue of public executions in Saudi Arabia. A notorious location of government sponsored beheadings seems notable to me, however the article as it currently stand is a sentence so it needs to be expanded significantly (hence the 'weak'). --The Way 05:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to "Deera Square", as it seems to be a notable aspect of that place and well-known even outside Saudi-Arabia. Another reference mentioning "Chop Chop Square": [1] (The Guardian). But there is no reason for two separate stubs on the same square, and even if the chop-chopping may be the most significant aspect of the place, I think the official name is preferable (and less POV). Searching Amnesty International reports may find something useful. up+land 06:24, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment It should be noted that there are no sources on the Deera Square article, though there is one on the Chop Chop Square article. However, I assume that Deera Square is the official name while Chop Chop is slang, so a merge to Deera would be appropriate. --The Way 06:28, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment by nominator: Merge is acceptable to me; if Steve rescinds/revises his !vote, we should be able to close this early and move on. -- nae'blis 15:31, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
