WP:SYNTHed collection of a Lebanese government statements during the 2006 Lebanon War. Noting there is no other article for the other party, so this is an WP:NPOV violation. Statements representing the positions of all parties involved, which would ensure WP:NPOV, are already on the main page for the war. If any extraneous statements on this page are additive, they can be merged. Longhornsg (talk) 01:01, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think this article should remain. The 2006 Lebanon War was not between Lebanon and Israel, but between Hezbollah and Israel, so Lebanon was an injured bystander. Please note that the conflict is more correctly known as the 2006 Israel–Hezbollah War.

The article doesn't blame either of the two warring parties, but describes, in a neutral and factual way, Lebanon's attempts to achieve a ceasefire. Consequently, the argument that it violates Wikipedia's rules about NPOV doesn't hold. The article is an expansion of a chapter in the main article and contains valuable information for future researchers. I see no reason to remove it.

Merge any relevant material to 2006 Lebanon War if it isn't already included. Mooonswimmer 13:12, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per @Thomas Blomberg. I think the article can be cleaned up, better researched, and formatted better, but I think it's certainly useful for research into the unique position of Lebanon's government apparatus as a third party in a way happening on the land they have jurisdiction over. (edit: formatting)
