Operation Tight Screw

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:GNG & WP:NOTNEWS that and the fact that Pakistan has been saying this was going to happen since 2010 and it still does not seem to be happening makes me think it never will. Better off in Pakistan's role in the War on Terror until such a time as there are enough sources to fill an article out. Darkness Shines (talk) 19:46, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep good amount of third-party reliable press. MountainMan11 (talk) 20:23, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Google news has but one hit for this, and that is the Wiki article. There are only 1,610 hits on Google itself, and most seem to be just the same story based on the press release. Were are the sources to build an article on? Darkness Shines (talk) 21:52, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG & WP:NOTNEWS. Mrt3366 ^(Talk?) 08:08, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete agree with nom. It hasnt occured so far and as the NATO troops are leaving, its highly unlikely to happen ever. Even if it happen it is too early to say it will be of this name. --DBig Xray 10:28, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - WP:PAK regular - coverage in RS is present and operation at this level is generally notable. We should wait for now to see if the operation gets more coverage... quick deletion without allowing it to mature is not really constructive. --lTopGunl (talk) 09:27, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You want to keep it on the off chance something might happen? WP:CRYSTAL Darkness Shines (talk) 12:29, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails NOTNEWS, plus the article doesn't assert any notability. Electric Catfish 15:05, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the topic is notable per WP:GNG. This operation has a lengthy history. The article's subject is not limited to this title ("Operation Tight Screw") only, it should include all the information related to the military operation that is being planned by Pakistan for some years and US and NATO members are putting pressure on Government of Pakistan for this. And this info is found abundantly in reliable sources. The only new thing is the operation being given a name and time frame which is covered by news reports. I will surely like to expand it myself, if given sometime. --SMS ^Talk 05:33, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
