Stand-Down to Address Extremism in the Ranks

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article does not seem to meet the notability threshold. Maybe an article on extremism in the U.S. Military would be more appropriate? This is just an order from the DOD - missed chance to create a page on a broader, more encompassing topic. Cliffmore (talk) 22:28, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete: Although there is some press coverage, it's still just an order and doesn't meet the notability guidelines. Tec Tom (talk) 14:00, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Merge into Aftermath of the 2021 United States Capitol attack. Although the order itself seems to stem from a 2009 document, most of the coverage surrounding the order has addressed the fact that members of the armed forces were involved in the Capitol attack. See NPR, The Hill, CBS News, NBC News, and ABC News coverage. The order did not directly mention January 6, but a Pentagon spokesperson interviewed by US News said that "The sixth of January was a wake-up call for this specific problem", so I don't believe it's a stretch to include this order under the broader "aftermath".

 * Redirect to an article about 2021 in the US military, hardly notable otherwise. Oaktree b (talk) 18:24, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Very limited merge to Aftermath of the 2021 United States Capitol attack, if there are sources linking this to the attack. Otherwise fails WP:NOTNEWS.  Sandstein   11:04, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Or to Extremism in the United States Armed Forces if that or something like it ever gets created.  Sandstein   11:07, 27 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Lloyd Austin per Content forking. The identical main content of this article already exists there word for word.4meter4 (talk) 16:39, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
