The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Ceylon in World War II#Preparations for war. There's not strictly a consensus to redirect here, but WP:ATD argues for the redirect (even though this is probably not a very useful search term). If somebody wants to mine the existing article for material to merge, it's still available in the history. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:14, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is redundant to an unsourced paragraph at Ceylon in World War II#Preparations for war. The subject doesn't merit a standalone article and this list is a red-linked unsourced mess. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:49, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Chris, for answering my question. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:24, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect to Ceylon in World War II#Preparations for war, with merger of anything useful. The names of the batteries might, for example, be added to the target. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:17, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
