Marking this article for deletion on 12 Oct, 2011. Subject matter of article is already covered in much greater depth and in a more structured fashion with section for both side's viewpoints here Sinking of PNS Ghazi, Operation Trident (Indo-Pakistani War of 1971),  Operation Python, Indo-Pakistani war of 1971,   Indo-Pakistani Naval War of 1971  and  PNS Hangor.

The article is basically based on copy-paste from other articles, original research and forum site Pakdef.

 * No vote yet. At the first sight it appears to be WP:SYNTH of arbitrary grouping; why not Celebrity deaths, 1972 and zillions of other titles? On the other hand, it appears about something cohesive during a particualr war. May be a better title and better sources will help to clarify whether this is a well-defined subject.

 * Weak keep and rename - perhaps to Submarine operations of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971? Seems like it could be a useful overview of the subject. - The Bushranger One ping only 20:40, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete -The article certainly looks WP:SYNTH and is a absolute copy of the references specially of pakdef.info to an extent that even the tense in the article is the same as that of references. Certainly looks redundant and a case of content fork. Even if it is not removed the references of unreliable pakdef.info should be removed.--UplinkAnsh (talk) 05:16, 13 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Weak keep The article needs improvement but the information itself may be valuable. Mar4d (talk) 06:34, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
