Merge: The article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:ORGCRIT. The subject lacks multiple independent secondary sources providing significant coverage. Per WP:SIGCOV: ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail". WP:BEFORE revealed nothing that would contribute to demonstrating WP:N. Some content could be merged into ~~Ministry of Defence (India)#Departments~~ Military Engineer Services. // Timothy :: talk 06:23, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I just got a message regarding nomination of this page for deletion. I would like to submit that this is one of the service in Military Engineer Services department under Ministry of Defence. Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Engineer_Services

All the supporting documents can be provided for this service. If you have any queries, pl let me know, I shall be happy to answer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kavedjindal (talk • contribs) 08:02, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Hello, the existence of the department is not being questioned, but the location of the information. The information should be merged into Ministry of Defence (India)#Departments and the standalone article redirected to that location. The information would be preserved and in that location, much more likely to be found and read. // Timothy :: talk 11:10, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge department doesn't meet WP:GNG and contains minutiae (pay scales) that is of no importance. Mztourist (talk) 03:35, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There is longstanding consensus to keep government agencies of major countries. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:11, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Do you have any policies or guidelines to back up the claim that "There is longstanding consensus to keep government agencies of major countries" and that this overrides the guidelines and policies related to WP:N and the need for independent reliable secondary sources? // Timothy :: talk 11:32, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Military Engineer Services, being a branch of it. On a sidenote, these articles really need improvement. Tayi Arajakate _Talk 02:34, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment per Tayi Arajakate (thanks) Military Engineer Services seems a better merge target. I have struck my original target and replaced it with this suggestion. // Timothy :: talk 03:01, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Military Engineer Services, and as in another similar AfD, I likewise would like to see the evidence that there's a consensus to keep every government agency. Ravenswing 16:55, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
