The article doesn't meet WP:GNG and is full of WP:OR, fluff and sources misrepresentation. The Almohads didn't "conquer" Tripoli as its citizens rebelled against the Normans when the Almohad reached Ifriqiya (this is what the sources say in passing).

  • Delete. It is an unreliable article which, if retained, would need a full rewrite with closer attention paid to actual sources. Personally, I don't think it warrants even that as we have articles on Ifriqiya and the Almohads. I think those should cover events in Tripoli which, as you say, are not significant enough for a standalone article. PearlyGigs (talk) 22:51, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as redundant to Almohad conquest of Norman Africa. This reduplication of material is getting absurd. Srnec (talk) 23:14, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
