Theaters of operation for the War on Terrorism

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )


 * Delete:Besides from providing no more information than the main article, it contains WP:SYN. For instance the North Korea part. No military operations were ever conducted in N.K. under the WoT banner and there are no sources that state there is a connection between N.K. and WoT. That is only an example about the issues of this article. In any case, I don't think there is a reason of having a spin-off article for this purpose. --JokerXtreme (talk) 22:49, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Aside from the Korea thing, it looks like its just supposed to be a summary or a list. I wouldn't be opposed to it being deleted as redundant, however, but if you could expand on your other concerns in more detail, that would be helpful.  bahamut0013  words deeds 00:49, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Spin-off articles are supposed to provide extra information that would make the main article too large. This is not the case. The article is just a copy of a part of a previous version of the "War on Terrorism" article.
 * The extra information included in this article, namely Spain and Mediterranean, Georgia, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Indonesia and North Korea are not connected with WoT by reliable sources and/or cannot even be considered theaters of operation.
 * But, in any case, even if some/all of those parts are to be kept, they can be incorporated in the main article. --JokerXtreme (talk) 08:21, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, then, I agree. Merge what is salvagable and delete the rest.  bahamut0013  words deeds 20:09, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - per WP:SYNTH - no sources have been provided which ties these all together and the presence of Somalia and Lebanon highlights that this article is not based on a firm or clearly definable topic Nick-D (talk) 06:54, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
