Merge - The case with the CIA chiefs in Pakistan is relevant, but I think the 2010 removal doesn't need an article of its own. There is still a court case going up to this day against the CIA chiefs in Pakistan and it makes headlines every now and then [1]. I would prefer a general article on the Pakistan CIA chiefs, but since there is none, I suggest merging this particular text into Drone attacks in Pakistan, together with a single sentence on the source I provided above, in a new short header for that page "Criminal cases against CIA station chiefs". Or if someone has time, update it into a more complete seperate article, with a different name that covers the entire topic. If necessary I can help with a merge if asked. -- Taketa (talk) 08:27, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

According to WP:WITHIN, "Don't create a standalone article on a topic that can be described briefly in another article". I think this is a good example. I recommend merging into and redirecting to CIA activities in Pakistan. This is fairly consistent with Taketa's recommendation.--Rpclod (talk) 20:01, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to CIA activities in Pakistan. The topic of the article is better covered within the context of the CIA Activities in Pakistan article. As for the sources, everything in the article and everything I was able to find through Google searches were news articles which were all released around the same day. This seems to be a pretty clear case of WP:NOTNEWS. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 00:27, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to CIA activities in Pakistan per Rpclod and Spirit of Eagle. The article is quite short, it does not look like anything significant will ever be added, and fits perfectly in the new target article in its own section. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 00:45, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
