Exercise Flat Out

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable military exercise, these sort of things happen all the time and a rarely notable and we have no indication this is anything special - prod removed with accusation of drive-by-tagging MilborneOne (talk)

 * Keep as it is unclear from the nomination what exactly makes a military exercise non-notable. Per WP:GNG, notability is satisfied if there are sources covering the subject, which is evident from the source cited in the article. Further coverage of Exercise Flat Out can also be found here and in the book The Story of the Pakistan Air Force, 1988-1998: A Battle Against Odds (2000), A. Rashid Shaikh.

 * Comment having sources doesnt make it more notable, the military do exercises all the time it is part of the routine of military training and hardly encyclopedic. MilborneOne (talk) 19:12, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Merge (via del/sort WP:PAK) under the blanket title Pakistani military exercises with all other such articles (with others in summary if their own articles are kept); keep if the article is reasonably expanded above stub and atleast asserts in-depth notability and coverage during the time of this AFD. -- lTopGunl (talk) 04:47, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete I am not finding sufficient sources to indicate the term stands on its own. My sweep of world sources found nothing much, even an unfiltered search did not yield sufficient sources indicating notability; rather, it seems to have limited usage in the Pakistani military. The article's current and only source is a primary source, when a few relevant secondary sources are needed to establish notability.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:16, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
