 * Keep Operation Golden Bird is a thing, and a notable thing at that. Sock's not good but G5 doesn't apply unless the page was created prior to the sock being blocked. NPOV can be handled through editing, not sure why we'd need to delete a valid page about a demonstrable and notable historical event? Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 08:33, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: Sock created articles are always a debacle. - Signed by NeverTry4Me Talk 08:47, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Moreover the article wasn't passed through AFC submission. - Signed by NeverTry4Me Talk 08:48, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Then improve the article. AfD is not for improving articles. Is Operation Golden Bird a thing? It is. Is it a notable thing? It is.

 * Keep, even a cursory Google search shows an enormous number of hits for the subject, which is clearly notable. Further, it is not the job of respondents to an AfD to improve the article. It's nice if they do, it's a good outcome, but we're all volunteers, and pressurising volunteers into rushing under threat of deadlines to delete is fundamentally wrong. We don't have a "You do the work or I delete" policy. Instruction C1 in Articles_for_deletion is quite clear: "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD".
