 * Redirect to Military of the Falkland Islands (eg: see targetting of Gordon Moulds or the currently unlinked use at RAF Ascension Island) ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 07:54, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - Article is notable and can be improved and expanded. Sammartinlai (talk) 08:11, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Hydro. The only information about the role amounts to "primary commanding officer of the British Forces Falkland Islands", "oversees 1350 personnel" and the name of the current Commander – all of which is covered in Military of the Falkland Islands. – Teratix ₵ 12:21, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * A redirect is fine with me. Beyond My Ken (talk) 12:39, 11 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Redirect per Hydro. Buckshot06 (talk) 14:18, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Military of the Falkland Islands. Article could be possibly expanded and spun-off, however at present form it is an unnecessary fork. Icewhiz (talk) 07:08, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect as others have suggested. The target would be better called Military in the Falkland Islands, since they are British Forces, not native ones.  Better still would be Armed Forces in the Falkland Islands, since in British English military refers only to soldiers, not Navy or Air Force.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:26, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment should we not move Military of the Falkland Islands to British Forces South Atlantic Islands as per the Milhist most-current-name rule and Br:E for 'forces' rather than 'military'? Buckshot06 (talk) 14:30, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
