This is an unusual case. This article exists word-for-word within RAF India. No need for the duplication. It has been redirected there several times and repeatedly restored. I don't think proposing a Merge is appropriate as there is nothing to merge. So taking to AFD to establish consensus that this should not exist as a separate article and the content is best covered in RAF India (with a redirect). MB 02:59, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The article has sufficient number of sources and bibliography. The article is on a notable subject. There is an attempt to delete it via backdoor by redirecting it. Though this finds mention in the article RAF India, this article has more bibliography for further research, and more sources too. Also the mutiny extended beyond India, so merging it to RAF India is not appropriate either. Crashed greek (talk) 04:00, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The subject seems notable in its own right. I think the title is unhelpfully vague, and sounds like a concept rather than an event, and I think "strike" would be more accurate than "mutiny", but that's not a deletion issue. CT55555 (talk) 15:10, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and delete, No reason for redundant sub article. Any additional information and cites can be put in the main article and then this one made a redirect to same. Kierzek (talk) 21:47, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - name is vague and content exists in RAF India article. GraemeLeggett (talk) 11:37, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but rename Royal Air Force mutiny of 1946 or Royal Air Force strikes of 1946 and trim/summarize what's in RAF India#Strikes in January 1946. As Crashed greek has noted, it wasn't confined to India. The Imperial War Museum and the RAF Museum have articles about it. There's also the book Mutiny in the RAF: The Air Force Strikes of 1946.

Keep Some more expansion might be necessary but deletion is not an option. Agletarang (talk) 03:46, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
