DePRODed without addressing the issues for reason of: ...' it serves as Rojava's de facto state media and is thus deserving of having an article.' . PROD concern was: The article appears to be about an organization or web content, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. With the exception of primary sources the supplied sources are not about the subject. The sources do not confer notability. Fails WP:GNG. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 05:07, 29 June 2017 (UTC) reply

Support Redirect: After reading Batternut's argumentation on the talk page, I support this move, insofar as the article should be tranformed into a redirect for Media of Syria. Applodion ( talk) 21:42, 1 July 2017 (UTC) reply
Support Redirect: replacing this article with a redirect to Media of Syria#Hawar News Agency, where a summary of the Hawar News Agency exists, is the best option I can think of. Batternut ( talk) 09:11, 3 July 2017 (UTC) reply
Keep: I believe Hawar News Agency is notable enough to merit an article. There are many references to the ANHA organisation in mainstream media outlets, including BusinessInsider ( link), The Independent ( link), ABC/Fox ( link), Reuters ( link) and others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GhostOfNoMeme ( talkcontribs) 16:58, 5 July 2017 (UTC) reply
Oppose Keep Hawa News Agency is mentioned by tens of international sources. [1] [2] [3] [4] It's even used by published books. [5] Ferakp ( talk) 17:13, 6 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Relisting comment: I usually loathe to relist a third time but currently it's not clear whether this should be kept or redirected and another week of discussion might yield a clearer consensus on that.

Keep: Does seem to have enough sources, and these sort of articles' detailing the affiliations and possible biases of media outlets are useful (since the outlets themselves are rarely upfront about it). The suggested option to delete and list it only on Media of Syria is not a correct option - that article is essentially a list article, and, as I understand it, should not have organisations on it that do not already have notability enough to have their own Wikipedia articles.

Keep Per: WP:GNG. As noted above, Hawar is mentioned by many reputable sources which makes it notable. Étienne Dolet ( talk) 02:41, 25 July 2017 (UTC) reply
