Operation Five power stations

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is absolutely this operation name in any literature. The book mentioned (Surrender At Dacca) makes no mention of this operation name or of word crack platoon. There is one reference which describes the events of this operation here but does not call it by this name. In my opinion, this page should be deleted since there is no evidence that this operation was called this. The events of the operation have already been mentioned in Para-Commando Brigade (Bangladesh). In a different situation I would have recommended a redirect but it seems that this would not work here since the name appears to be a figment of the authors imagination.

 * Delete in current state - as it is an unneeded fork of Para-Commando Brigade (Bangladesh) covering early history and is already in the Brigade's article. The current article doesn't describe an operation, mainly detailing how the crack platoon was formed and then saying in two sentences From Melaghar, commandos of Crack Platoon headed for Dhaka on 4 June 1971 and launched guerrilla operation on 5 June.[2] Later, number of commandos was increased, the platoon was split and deployed in different areas surrounding Dhaka city.. That's not a description of an operation. I am amenable to changing my !vote if this article actually focuses on the 1971 campaign by the crack platoon (assuming there are sources) and uses a name that is used by sources - as is, the spin off from Para-Commando Brigade (Bangladesh) of essentially formation of Crack Platoon in 1971 is not warranted.Icewhiz (talk) 07:26, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
