OK, non-exhaustive list of policies, guidelines and essays (in particular
WP:ATA) that may be relevant here:
Reason this article should be speedily deleted: this article practically has no content other than links. A total violation of
WP:A3
Reason this article should not be speedily deleted: this is an important topic, and should have an article. It has existed since
11 January 2009 Someone could step in and improve it.
Reason this article should not be referred to
WP:AFD: "Articles for Deletion is not cleanup".
Reason this article should be be referred to
WP:AFD: maybe "LGBT rights in Western Sahara" could be a good stand-alone article, or could be a good
WP:REDIRECT to (which page?).
Redirect at most Why not redirect this valid name to a valid target? As noted, deletion will leave a redlink in dozens of articles. ―

Delete.
This is not a disambiguation page. This is a stand alone article which should be addressing the subject but says nothing about LGBT rights in the Western Sahara. Instead, the reader is directed to LGBT right in other countries e.g. Morocco and
LGBT rights in the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. There is already a navbox which the reader is quite capable of using to visit those articles. This particularly article serves no purpose. There is practically nothing about the subject. I put a speedy deletion tag on it but it was removed. Either delete it or
WP:DRAFTIFY it. We cannot even merge it to another relevant article because there is nothing there to begin with. Also, see the talk page.

Keep, not as a dab page (which it isn't), but as a navigational tool. It's a weird situation, with two countries each controlling parts of the territory, so this is preferable to copying info from their respective LGBT rights articles. A3 doesn't apply, since it refers to external links, not internal. — Preceding

And what remains is sourced in Equaldex, which is not an
WP:RS since it appears to be user-generated content and lacks an editorial team.
