The result was no consensus. Although (apart from the nom) there are only keep !votes here (and 1 merge to a non-existent target), not a single one of those !votes is based in policy. Therefore I am closing this as "no consensus" with no prejudice against taking this to AfD again after a suitable waiting period. Randykitty ( talk) 16:19, 1 January 2015 (UTC) reply

Non-notable military exercise, these sort of things happen all the time and a rarely notable and we have no indication this is anything special - prod removed with accusation of drive-by-tagging MilborneOne ( talk)

• Keep as it's a stub and should be given time to develop. It is premature at this point to run an AfD. One source is given in the article, whereas further mentions can be found here. The exercise also has a mention in The Story of the Pakistan Air Force, 1988-1998: A Battle Against Odds (2000) by A. Rashid Shaikh, p. 106. Mar4d ( talk) 07:33, 9 December 2014 (UTC) reply
• Comment more work on the article will not make it notable, the military do exercises all the time it is part of the routine of military training and hardly encyclopedic. MilborneOne ( talk) 19:11, 9 December 2014 (UTC) reply

• Merge (via del/sort WP:PAK) under the blanket title Pakistani military exercises with all other such articles (with others in summary if their own articles are kept); keep if the article is reasonably expanded above stub and atleast asserts in-depth notability and coverage during the time of this AFD. -- lTopGunl ( talk) 04:47, 10 December 2014 (UTC) reply

• Keep & Improve - We have hundreds of articles on exercises, Won't hurt to have another - Also IMHO the article needs improving not deleting. – Davey2010 • (talk) 02:35, 16 December 2014 (UTC) reply

Comment - I am pretty sure we dont have hundreds of articles on training excercises because of the nature of such regular features of military behaviour they are hardly notable, it doesnt even appear to be listed in a rambling section on excercises at Pakistan Air Force.
