Military in South Asia[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Why list militaries of different countries in a single page based on the continent? Fails WP:LISTPURP. SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 15:52, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

After further edits by the article creator, the article looks like copy-paste from different country military articles. --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 16:06, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article can be edited to make meaningful, and unnecessary information can be removed. Sheikh Mohammad Shahzeb ^Talk/_Stalk 10:51, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This article should be kept as it is an important topic covering the Military of South Asia. It gives detailed information about different militaries and also has a table where various characteristics of the Military can be compared. It also covers the Military history of South Asia which can be extended further. If we have History of South Asia, why not its Military History? Moreover this article is still a stub.

Delete - duplicates information in articles that it is, apparently, cut-and-pasted from - which, if true, makes it a copyvio. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:24, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This article adds nothing encyclopedic and can only duplicate what is already contained in other articles such as Indian Armed Forces and Pakistan Armed Forceswhich are complete, well sourced, authoritative, up-to-date and encyclopedic. DocTree (talk) 04:28, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
