DOS Forward
Prod contested, improperly restored. Prodded as "attack page". I'm unfamiliar with the subject. No vote NickelShoe 04:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete- I have no idea what this is about. Does the article assert notability? What do the acronyms mean? Until someone with knowledge of this field edits the article so we know what on Earth it all means, and convinces me of notability, I say delete. Reyk 05:02, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

COMMENT -- This article is SIGNIFICANTLY improved from when it was tagged with AFD. Please consider keeping or restarting AFD process. Thanks. - Oscar Arias 07:07, 14 March 2006 (UTC) Comment. I agree, this article is much better than when I prodded it. Maybe in a few days if we wait a while it will take shape. ( A rundhati Bakshi (talk • contribs)) 12:46, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge The NPOV that made it a CSD A6 candidate was one easily removed line. It's now a stub that probably has an article it should be merged to. Alba 05:04, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as not notable testing center. Bobby1011 05:10, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - possibly interesting, but unsourced and not in the German Wikipedia. ProhibitOnions 11:19, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - It would be in this one first. It's a US training center located in Germany. German citizens aren't allowed to enter freely without permission as it's on a US Military base. Oscar Arias 07:53, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep . Give it few days. If it is as shoddy after a week as it is now, then speedy delete. Pavel Vozenilek 21:44, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep & Rename DOS Forward seems to be the wrong name. However Joint Multinational Command Training Center is verifiable. Seems to be a very important training division. 65.223.100.226 00:05, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and or Merge/Rename - If I remember correctly this is somewhat related to SIMNET which hundreds if not thousands of US soldiers went through for M1A1 training back in the Desert Storm days (and probably still do, also located in Grafenwhoer, Germany).  The article could use more information, but does not need to be deleted. Oscar Arias 06:09, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * COMMENT after looking at the web site this quote caught my eye More than 15,000 soldiers and civilian employees and 9,500 family members make up the JMTC.' - Of course this has nothing really to do with DOS Forward, other than DOS Forward is located in JMTC, but the training center itself is VERY notable. Graf/Hohenfels training areas have been used by the US Army going back to the end of WWII to present day, I would venture to say that over 100K soldiers have gone through there at some point in their miliary career.

 * Further Comment - Made the redirect to JMCTC, added public domain government information to JMCTC history, wikified and fixed POV of history, cleaned up links. Feel free to change your vote! :-)  --Oscar Arias 06:49, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Also added more information from website press releases. Oscar Arias 06:59, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * comment (to Newyorktimescrossword) in the 5 minutes period where you voted on NINE articles, did you even bother to check ANYTHING? Also having a special account for VFD sessions (as stated to your user page) I find suspicious.  Oscar Arias 08:03, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
