Nathu La incident

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The article Sino-Indian relations covers this incident already in depth than this article and without the chest thumping. Also, article is also factually incorrect on several grounds. Please delete no need to merge as the Sino-Indian Relations not only contains factually correct information including the background but is written from a neutral point of view without involving some sort of tribal superiority being invoked.

This article has relevant reference from original research work done by History Division, Ministry of Defence, Government of India. Their no tribal superiority involvement it has EVIDENCE. Please review article before considering for deletion Sehmeet singh (talk) 16:54, 17 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete, consider incubation. Yes, Sino-Indian relations handles the incident better than is done here. That said, there is an article on the Chola incident, which goes into considerable detail. If this article were expanded, written neutrally, pulled in sources other than one of the participants in the incident, and generally brought up to the level of the Chola article, I could see an article on Nathu La existing independently. However, in its current state, there is no need for this article. —C.Fred (talk) 17:19, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete The Nathu La incident may exist interdependently as an article, and gave some thought to that avenue of preserving the article. However, China and India have treated this as a minor skirmish. Number of deaths on the Chinese side is very speculative and India has used their estimates (actually heavily massaged in their favor) of the Chinese casualties to boost moral. However, India chose not to escalate this incident and may not have caused any casualties with their mortars. However there was direct engage in the form of close quarter combat earlier into the skirmish. Both parties are fairly mum regarding the incident and that is not likely to change in the near future. India invoked the Official Secrets Act around the incident. However from what is known the Wiki article Sino-Indian relations covers it well as it could be from information available at present.

 * Redirect without deletion. There's not enough here to justify spinning out the article, but there's a pretty good case to be made for notability. Couldn't this be A10-speedied, which wouldn't set any precedent regarding the underlying notability? Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 01:29, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
