Was a contested redirect without improvement (an additional non-in-depth reference from an unreliable source doesn't count as an improvement). Lots of mentions, but I cannot find any in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources. Fails WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 16:00, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Awards, Military, and Pakistan. Shellwood (talk) 16:36, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

This is a military decoration, and there are numerous other decorations as well which have their own separate article. This does not stay in limit of Pakistan but also Indian Armed Forces and US Armed Forces. For example see 50th Independence Anniversary Medal, 75th Independence Anniversary Medal, Paschimi Star, Operation Vijay Star, Siachen Glacier Medal, Sangram Medal, Operation Vijay Medal, Meritorious Unit Award (U.S. Air and Space Forces), Navy Ceremonial Duty Ribbon, Developmental Special Duty Ribbon, Recruiting Service Ribbon, Grover Loening Award and this list continues. For full list you may check some service medals at Awards and decorations of the Indian Armed Forces and Awards and decorations of the United States Armed Forces.

* Keep. As per User:Lt.gen.zephyr. Sessep (talk) 19:33, 1 July 2025 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE ~SG5536B 14:57, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

• Comment - note to closer: neither of the two keep arguments are based in policy, rather simply WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 02:09, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

  If there are other articles like this one with much less references, this should also exist. 𝗭𝗲𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗿 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 14:37, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

  That is not an argument to use in AFD. Geschichte (talk) 14:28, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

• Delete Agree with. There is a lack of substantial coverage, and the article does not justify a standalone entry and should be considered for deletion per WP:GNG.Gepeas (talk) 17:43, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. User:Lt.gen.zephyr, are you arguing for a Keep here?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:09, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I am. A military award deserves an article, whether they have more references or not. Alot of articles of similar military awards have been existing. 𝗭𝗲𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗿 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 11:47, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument to keep an article. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:29, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Note that the nominator's contested redirect target was Awards and decorations of the Pakistan Armed Forces#Commemorative medals.

• Redirect to Awards and decorations of the Pakistan Armed Forces#Commemorative medals – As WP:ATD. The command may not be notable enough for an article, but the redirection will not cause any harm, and it is a possible search term. Svartner (talk) 16:49, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
