Per the reasons in the previous AFD, WP:CRYSTAL it still has not begun and does not appear to be going to happen at all according to the long war journal[1] Darkness Shines (talk) 22:52, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Appears to be original research and lacks valid references. The first two references do not mention the title of this operation at all. LogicalCreator (talk) 07:29, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It is an existing operation, very covert though, it receives very little media attention, however the references do prove the existence of such an operation (Wiki id2 (talk) 10:27, 23 October 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Actually no, the references prove that the Pakistani government said this was going to happen, But it has not and is not likely to given recent statements from Islamabad. "Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Monday said that no preparations were underway for a military operation in the North Waziristan tribal region"[2] Darkness Shines (talk) 10:55, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is a notable, ongoing operation, clearly contrary to WP:CRYSTAL. --SMS ^Talk 20:11, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per SMS and Wiki id2, meets WP:GNG and is sufficient enough to bypass WP:CRYSTAL. Mar4d (talk) 01:52, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Pretty notable, indeed. — ΛΧΣ21™ 00:02, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
