Cyber Security Task Force

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

WP:ORG-Concerns an former organization with minimal (essentially no) independent coverage nor significant coverage. While it may be possible to merge this topic into the article on the CSE there so little independent information on this organization that I do not believe merging is warranted or even possible. Originally proposed by user:JustAnotherEditHere. Not sure why the PROD was objected to... Rockstone  Send me a message!  00:10, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: Any media or newsroom briefing that originates from a gov extension, like gc.ca, is always of the highest authority in terms of reliability. There is no independent or SIGCOV of the subject though. There needs to be additional reliable sources that are independent. By law, the primary organizational body for cybersecurity in Canada is the Communication Security Establishment. Perhaps the page can merge with Public Safety Canada, if no independent sources are found. Multi7001 (talk) 00:27, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. If kept, the article would need to be rewritten. With what sources? As for alternatives to deletion, there is no information to merge here. I don't see any reason for a redirect, either, for two reasons. One: as far as I can tell, the most helpful redirect would be to Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, which is currently itself a redirect - but nothing about this task force comes up all that obviously at the CCCS website, either. (The "history" link sends you here: .) The tie between CSE/CCCS doesn't seem to be close enough to really merit a redirect. Two: "cyber security task force" is not a concept particular to Canada. A redirect link placed there is taking up space that someone might want to use to make an article on the concept of a cyber security task force, or a particular Cyber Security Task Force. (There are of course several, though I have no idea how many of them would be considered notable; I get the strongest google response from India's.) Sure, in that event someone could turn this redirected title into a disambiguation page, but how many future readers will make it to that page looking for information on this short-lived Canadian task force? Unless there's something I've missed, I'm pretty comfortable presuming the answer to that is "none". -- asilvering (talk) 01:37, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. As the original proposer, I am a little confused as to why this was objected to, but I would like to restate my reasons for greater clarity: One: There are almost no independent, significant sources on this organization. Two: The page is such a stub that any merger into the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security would be superfluous. Three: The organization itself is so poorly documented, even in official sources, that one cannot reasonably describe what, if anything, this organization did. I would stress that merging this either with Public Safety Canada or Canadian Centre for Cyber Security would be difficult given the absolute dearth of information on this organization. Thank you Rockstone for submitting this to AfD and notifying me that my original PROD had be objected to. - JustAnotherEditHere (talk) 03:23, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * @JustAnotherEditHere Judging by the contributions history of the editor who reverted your PROD, I suspect they just object to PRODs of any kind on principle. -- asilvering (talk) 06:06, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
