Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ex-Nazis in the CIA

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. There is no consensus for a particular redirect target, and no clearly reliably sourced material for merging anywhere. So the close is delete.

I also remind any who might propose to create a redirect that "Nazi" is a problematic term, with multiple meanings, so we should not use it unless we can make the specific meaning clear - which can't be done on a redirect (and was never done in this article). This tends to indicate that we should not have a redirect. GRBerry (talk) 01:58, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect properly sourced information to Operation Paperclip. Otto4711 20:07, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Most of the information relates to the Gehlen organization, which already has its own its own page here. What's left is about one sentence of unsourced allegations. Dchall1 21:09, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to Reinhard Gehlen rather than to Operation Paperclip. A lot of empty calories in this article, which essentially reveals little except that there were some Ex-Nazis... in the CIA. Mandsford 01:36, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

• A redirect to Gehlen is fine by me. Otto4711 15:40, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, as a redirect lets the implication of the claim live on. -- Mikeblas (talk) 21:59, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
