• Keep Notability is satisfied if there are sufficient sources for the subject and I can find a range of sources for this. It's a vague nomination and it hasn't been explained what makes a military exercise "non-notable". Mar4d (talk) 07:28, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment sources are not an indication of being notable, the military do exercises all the time it is part of the routine of military training and hardly encyclopedic. MilborneOne (talk) 19:08, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep (via del/sort WP:PAK) Recurring major exercise with recurring coverage, satisfies GNG. Something like Red Flag exercise. --lTopGunl (talk) 04:40, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment clearly nothing like the multi-national red flag and as a recurring exercise is still not notable just part of the day job of being an air force. MilborneOne (talk) 20:22, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Iconcur with Milborne. Excercise are run of the mill, unencyclopaedic, (unless somethinghappens because of one that is notable in it's own right), and non-notable.WP:GNG, notnews, etc.etc.--Petebutt (talk) 18:46, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
