Operation Balboa

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Per WP:NOTNEWS. The whole subject seems to be built exclusively around a claim made by Hugo Chávez in an interview, and the interviewer himself, Ted Koppel, recognizes that he never received proof of Chávez's accusations, even after he promised to do so and several requests, as stated in the article.

The original Operation Balboa was a war game conducted by Spain, which in itself lacks any notability. Any noteworthy content is already covered in the United States–Venezuela relations section.

 * Delete. Fleeting notability from the Koppel interview, adequately covered already in the U.S.–Venezuela relations article. Don't see a need for a redirect. --Jprg1966 (talk) 03:08, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect Redirect to section that contains the summary in the relations article. I don't understand why we wouldn't at least redirect to it for anybody wondering about it. DeVosMax [ contribs • talk • created media ] 05:58, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
