[edit] Coalition Forces

Dictionary definition. ThreeAnswers 18:20, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

*Merge into Multinational force in Iraq which already redirects from Coalition forces. Crunch 19:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. "Coalition forces" actually has a much more general meaning than this. Using it only to apply to this single coalition is faulty. If someone wants to do a complete rewrite and include this in a greatly expanded article, go ahead, but that's far from a straight keep. -R. fiend 20:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. On further consideration, I agree with R. fiend. Coalition forces should probably also be deleted. Crunch 20:20, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Perhaps this should be turned into a disambig page, pointing to various coalition forces in history (if and only if they used that specific term). Coalition forces would then point here (or you could do it the other way around). Whether the current contents are physically deleted, or overwritten, seems insignificant. --Rob 21:38, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as it is now. If it were re-written to be a more informative of coalitions, it would be worth keeping, but not as it is now. Liamdaly620 21:44, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand per above. -- JJay 22:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Can you clarify what you wish the article to cover? Multinational force in Iraq already has an article, which is the current scope of the current article (such as it is). Do you want a general article on military coalitions? Or do you want discussion of the various alliances actually called "Coalition Forces" (proper noun), which there were multiple (I think). --Rob 22:40, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and have it redirect to Multinational force in Iraq, and expand the section "Current military alliances" in Military alliance.--Ezeu 23:12, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Ruby. TestPilot 06:02, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
