CIA activities in Turkey

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I don't believe that all of the "CIA activities in..." articles should be deleted—in fact, I'm a major contributor to two of the more notable ones, CIA activities in Iraq and CIA activities in Syria—but CIA activities in Turkey seems to fail WP:GNG. Perhaps merge any non-redundant material to, e.g., Turkey–United States relations? TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 23:37, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Keep: If we are going to have CIA activities by country articles allowable for the likes of Syria and Iraq, then the principle of having such county specific articles is established. So it will be down to individual article content to decide if an article is deserving for a particular country. Given the closeness to both Syria and Iraq, as well as Iran, and the fact that it shared a Cold War border with the Soviet Union and Iron Curtain countries, I think CIA activity in Turkey is likely to be both substantial and notable. I have already added some additional content, and there is likely to be much more content that could be added to this article. For example, the CIA connection to ARIT was always a well known open secret, and a google search turns up some sources on this. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 16:07, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
