Operation Bulldog III

I know due to the date of the training (1955) the number of hits on internet is not very reliable, but 192 hits is seriously low. No books mentioned and a tag that casts doubts about neutrality and notability (due to COI):This article is written like a personal reflection or essay rather than an encyclopedic description of the subject.

Weak keep - While the article's tone is rather unencyclopedic, the article itself seems to cover a reasonably notable event, that is obscure on the Internet but for which offline sources undoubtably exist. As for the tone and the {{essay}} tag, AfD is not for cleanup. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 05:24, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - article may benefit from more sources, but is a valid article. Someone needs to talk to the Canadian Rangers HQ, which would have pamphlets / books / whatever that cover their history and could be added as sources. Buckshot06 (talk) 10:21, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
