• Redirect to Cedar Revolution. I have not found any reliable references in English, but what I have found pointed to the article subject's involvement in that event. I suspect searching in French and Arabic sources would provide better results, but because of the variability of transliterating Arabic names to English search terms, my ability to search correctly is limited.

• Hi @Eggishorn: Normally I would be all right with considering a redirect, but the unsourced article nominated for deletion does not verify his involvement with the The Cedar Revolution, and the proposed redirect target has no mention of him. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 03:02, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Northamerica1000:, Usually I don't advocate redirects without that information but in this particular case, my searches have given me the distinct impression that I'm being too parochial. Even if I don't think any one individual source counts as WP:RS for notability purposes, there's enough in sum to give me the belief that non-English sources probably do exist. Perhaps the correct thing is to delete and hope those with access and understanding of such putative sources re-create it. Thanks for the reply.
