War in Afghanistan order of battle, 2012

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No longer serves a purpose. This used to be a continuously updated list of currently deployed units, but it ended up frozen in 2012 because nobody was updating it. The principal source is not current either, so I don't see how it could be brought up to date. See the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history for background.

 * Keep  Per WP:NOWORK, the article is still suitable to be in Wikipedia even though it hasn't been work at for quite a long time. In my opinion, the article still serves its purpose very well.  I Need Support   :3 03:08, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep but repurpose so that it is not a mere snapshot at one date. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:14, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - that no-one is updating it is no reason to delete it if it is well sourced.FOARP (talk) 10:11, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - The discussion at MilHist had mixed results and little background. I don't see much of an explanation of the reasoning here, either. OoB's are often a useful way of organizing lists of involved units, have historic value, are common in published literature, and are present in encyclopedia-like compendiums and thus seem to be encyclopedic.
