Firstly, see discussion on article talk page. Fails WP:GNG. Page mostly discusses and gives examples of Syriac language used in Lebanon. The intended topic of the article is an Aramaic language (probably Western) spoken (and now extint) in Lebanon in earlier times. From my knowledge, this language/dialect is not documented, thus not discussed in Aramaic studies. Few (none?) WP:RS listed discusses this "Lebanese Aramaic" or "Lebanese Syriac" or "Surien" language. Much is based on this article, which is far from WP:RS. Shmayo (talk) 19:55, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

- Keep: I do not see a point in deleting an article about a real language. As discussed in the talk page the article is mainly about Lebanese Aramaic itself but does mention Classical Syriac, as do many of the other Aramaic language pages, as this was the written language of colloquial Aramaic. There are various sources that discuss the specific Aramaic language of Lebanon which are cited throughout the article. As for Amine's source, at most it should be removed and replaced with a more reliable source if deemed unreliable rather than deleting the entire article as a whole.
