Hi, أرمز. Thanks for patrolling new pages. I've declined your deletion request for a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. Please take a moment to read the new tutorial for patrollers, criteria for speedy deletion, and particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion or proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. Thanks! 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:E493:D84:28E3:D006 (talk) 15:25, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
MSA move
Hello,
It's been stale for a bit, so copying the discussion on MSA over here. Technically speaking, you can request a move via following the instructions, but as a warning, I don't think the move would stand a chance of succeeding. MSA / "Modern Standard Arabic" is the name used in English for this, and whether the term "standard" is 100% accurate isn't really that relevant.
- Modern Standard Arabic → Modern Arabic – Modern Arabic is not standard Arabic, but rather an extension of Classical Arabic, so the title must be transferred to Modern Arabic. أرمز (talk) 12:25, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- MSA is the standard and common name; Modern Arabic contains various variations.
''']'''(talk|contribs) 12:47, 21 April 2024 (UTC)- No, but it is not standard. Normative means that it takes a standard for deducing rules, but this is not true. Classical Arabic is the one that takes a standard for rules. أرمز (talk) 13:16, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- If you want something from me, please tag me. I am on the Arabic Misplaced Pages + I am not fluent in English. Please search carefully to verify my words. أرمز (talk) 20:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- @أرمز: This move is potentially controversial, so it would require a requested-move discussion, which you can begin by clicking "discuss" on your request. You can remove this request after opening a discussion (or if you do not want to continue). SilverLocust 💬 23:21, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

- These should not be changed. "Modern Arabic" can refer to any of the modern varieties of Arabic (for example, modern Egyptian Arabic), but there is only one commonly accepted Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). Nicole Sharp (talk) 12:28, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
