This Wikipedia page does not have enough relevance to be its own article. It can easily be added to the Military of Algeria or the Algerian Air Force articles rather than being expanded. Khazar ( talk) 20:54, 28 August 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep AfD is not cleanup. This is a full service branch, equivalent to the Soviet Air Defence Forces. It is not repeat not part of the Algerian Air Force. It is unquestionably notable - references including Library of Congress Country Study. It has many many GNG compliant references, though searches might find more at Defense aerienne du territoire. Needs expansion, not deletion. If anything, might be considered for redirecting for a while if it's not big enough, but there's no question of deletion.

• Keep - per WP:SIGCOV, passes the General Notability Guideline as far as I can see. Anotherclown ( talk) 11:44, 31 August 2015 (UTC) reply
• Keep. What a ridiculous nomination. Of course a major branch of the armed forces is notable. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 16:08, 1 September 2015 (UTC) reply
• Keep: I think that this is a viable stand-alone topic, which should have the coverage required to develop it into a comprehensive article if someone is keen. I wonder if the title should include the word "Algeria" in some way, but that might be a discussion for another time and place. Regards, AustralianRupert ( talk) 03:05, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply
