Pentagon rapid response operation

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Week article 2 years old. Non-notable as is. Forsee no actionable growth or useful purpose. Lemmey (talk) 02:14, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The description in the article is pretty vague. It isn't an office or a policy so much as a media strategy or focus. It might do us well to have a broader article on Pentagon public affairs that discusses this in historical and contemporary contexts. As is, it's just part of a memo, with not much to indicate that it really happened the way outlined or was effective. --Dhartung | Talk
 * Merge with Pentagon message machine. Bramlet Abercrombie (talk) 13:04, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see a problem with an article on the Pentagon's media relations operation. Seems to pass WP:N. -- Kendrick7talk 18:37, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep for now This has potential to grow. let's keep it around for now. RingtailedFox • Talk • Contribs 21:05, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge. Of all the DOD's components, I saw today that we have nothing for Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, probably a good place to shelve all Pentagon media shenanigans (=shady screwups). Maybe someone would like to go for a rewrite? Buckshot06 (talk) 10:19, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, this is an abstract concept and not an actual subject, and it borders on OR. Any relevant information pertaining to the subject belongs at Force multiplication under #Message force multipliers, United States Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (Airborne), and Department of Defense under #Public Affairs, or #Criticism of the Pentagon.

 * Nonsense, this is an actual subject. National Public Radio had a half hour program to day about this operation, although it mainly focused on the "surrogate operation" part of this which has been in the news since Sunday (also up for AfD). -- Kendrick7talk 03:24, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
