Networked swarming warfare

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Basically represents a book summary. No coverage from independent reliable sources. Jprg1966  (talk)  10:34, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

 * The reason is not sufficient for deletion. It's not a book summary but an important military theory of the Chinese Army. There are more independent reliable sources in the Chinese version. Some are listed as follows.


 * 1) 网络化集群作战,解放军报,2004.01.20.
 * 2) 网络化集群作战透析,解放军报,2006.04.11.
 * 3) 霍大军：《网络化集群作战》，军事科学出版社，2009.
 * 4) 霍大军：《网络化集群作战研究》，国防大学出版社，2013.
 * 5) 《科学发展观与新世纪新阶段国防和军队建设》，国防大学出版社，2007.

 * could you please provide the URL of the Chinese version of this article? It is not linked to this one through wikidata. This would help with the improvement of the article being discussed here. Thanks! -  t u coxn \talk 03:39, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry to see your message so late. I have a complete Chinese electronic version of the Networked Swarming Warfare. I can send you if you need. My email address is fhzsmatrix@126.com.

 * Userfy There is an article on Network-centric warfare that could be a good model for this article should enough reliable sources be found. However, I do not see reliable sources on NSW, which, if this is a new model, should appear in military-related sources. If no English-language sources are available, then I would suggest holding off until they become available, so that there is something here for users of the English-language WP.

 * Comment: While network-centric warfare is similar as an article, networked swarming warfare should not be merged into it; they are vary different concepts. I also have a difficult time finding sources for this theory but a few are available in addition to the one cited in the article:
 * -Huo Dajun: "Network warfare research clusters," National Defense University Press, 2013.
 * -Huo Dajun: "Network cluster operations", Military Science Press, 2009.
 * -Staff written: "Networked cluster operations dialysis", China Network, April 11, 2006.
 * In conclusion, it's difficult to say whether this subject is notable or not but currently no consensus exists to delete it. -  t u coxn \talk 02:48, 27 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. There's no requirement that sources be available conveniently (on-line, in English);  the existence of Chinese language off-line sources suffice.  I "assume good faith" that User:HeinzWilhelmGuderian's evaluation and reading of Chinese sources is correct.  Further reason to Keep from User:Tucoxn's assessment that it is different from Network-centric warfare (which i added as a "See also" link in the article).  It's a relatively new article;  tag it for development but Keep is best, IMHO. -- do  ncr  am  03:23, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per Doncram, maybe in the future someone can look at the sources at see if it should be merged to Swarming (military), but for now I'm trusting HeinzWilhelmGuderian's assessment. --Cerebellum (talk) 06:42, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
