Was a prod by me, but an anon removed the prod. I'm concerned about the notability here. rootology ( C )( T ) 18:46, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm pulling this afd, since it turns out this is notable. rootology ( C )( T ) 23:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Why delete article of "Dimona Radar Facility"? The article is short. However, it is a military facility in a conflict area, so not much information is available. But the facility itsself is very remarkable, as its towers are with a height of 400 metres the tallest towers of Israel and taller than every man-made structure in the European Union. Further, they are probably the tallest towers used for radar purpose in the world. As radar facilities are usually installed in domes and not on supertall towers the radar is also very remarkale. So no reason for deletion! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.46.207.28 (talk) 18:50, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * comment I don't really have the ability to judge the notability of this facility so I'm going to refrain from doing so. However, if the result of this conversation is delete, I would suggest we instead merge with Dimona. --Bachrach44 (talk) 18:55, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - not sure about military notability, but they are certainly notable as the tallest towers of this kind in the world, as well as the tallest structures in Israel (at completion - beating Orot Rabin). -- Ynhockey (Talk) 20:20, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep on several grounds--as structures, and expand as in fact of major international news interest as a military base unless they have an article in Wikipedia under another name. -- see the 627 Google news articles listed at   ( the whole phrase doesn't work--I used just Dinona, and then selected the relevant cluster. ) DGG (talk) 23:11, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
