 * Comment. I started this article and am unsure why Toddst1 nominated it for deletion, since he didn't give a deletion rationale and hasn't responded to my question about it on his talk page.  Cla68 (talk) 23:40, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - definitely a notable event. I don't know what's going on with this nomination. Kelly  hi! 23:41, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - a well know topic that is in the news and has been created by an editor with a history of turning out Featured Articles.--Looper5920 (talk) 23:42, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree that this topic is notable. I created the technical nomination only because I saw a redlink to it in today's AfD log. --Eastmain (talk) 23:50, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. KC-X overlaps some of this, and some should be merged there; that was the actual name of the programme. Maybe the whole thing should be merged there. Buckshot06(prof) 00:03, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree that the KC-X article should be merged into this one. I believe that the KC-X article is a  sub-part of the overall topic, which is the tanker procurement effort which has existed under other names since 2002/3. Cla68 (talk) 00:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge: Sorry folks, it seems that WP:TW had a pretty major hiccup when I nominated this article for AFD. If TW had behaved itself, you would have seen that I had proposed this article be deleted and merged with the KC-X article.  This article has merit, I just thought it was misplaced.  The TW bug apparently ate a big chunk of User talk:Cla68 too.  Toddst1 (talk) 01:05, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
