In addition to CIA activities in Asia, I am nominating the following related articles for deletion:

CIA activities in Africa (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
CIA activities in the Americas (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
CIA activities in Russia and Europe (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

In this case, while the templates—Template:CIA activities in Africa, Template:CIA activities in the Americas, Template: CIA activities in Asia, Template: CIA activities in Russia and Europe—serve a valuable purpose by directing readers to the relevant country-specific pages, the articles themselves are largely an incoherent mess of WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. CIA activities in Russia and Europe is a bit better than the other three, but even there virtually all of the content is redundant. TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 22:02, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • DeleteUndecided (Edit: I figure a red link is better to fix the pages at this point as opposed to maintaining them in current forms. While topic is notable, current pages are probably more likely to be improved by being deleted. End Edit) This is hard, because (and I'll only speak of CIA activities in Africa) while the general topic has a good literature, which is separate from the individual cases, and could be invaluable for the project...the general topic at this point appears as described by TTAAC. Is there such a thing as Delete without prejudice? Once again-I only went over the Africa content, and lack the background to decide on deletion on the others, but they look similar.
