• Delete. Does not have significant coverage in multiple reliable sources per GNG, and
  American Theater (1939–45) article, which is irrelevant. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 08:04, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply
  ]
• Delete - article created against consensus [1] using a term not used in
  Air raids on Australia, 1942–43 and Axis naval activity in Australian waters. Anotherclown (talk) 08:07, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply
  ]
• Delete per nomination and per Anotherclown: there never was an "Australian Theater" of World War II, and it is not a term or concept which has been used by historians (who tend to note that there were not clear links between the various attacks on Australia during the war, with most attacks being offshoots of larger campaigns in the islands to Australia's north). The topics covered in the article would be much better covered in existing articles. Nick-D (talk)
• Delete - as per reasons stated above. Zawed (talk) 08:52, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete -
  American Theater (1939–45), which refers to an actual wartime entity. Contents of the article are covered in other articles. Contains certain elements of real weirdness (Why 1940 and not 1939? Why American spelling?) Hawkeye7 (talk) 09:58, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply

• If appropriate Merge any content not already there to the articles listed by Anotherclown. The nom and some commenters above seem unable to look beyond issues with the title. That may be wrong, but the subject is certainly notable. Johnbod (talk) 13:19, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Erm, except we have all already stated that this is already covered in several articles. There would be nothing gained by merging. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:28, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - as per comments above by Nick-D, Crisco 1492, Peacemaker67, Hawkeye7, Anotherclown. Nickm57 (talk) 13:27, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom and Nickm57. The creator of this article should be encouraged to remember the civil way we're supposed to interact with each other on Wikipedia. Buckshot06 (talk) 04:48, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom and Anotherclown. There was, as Nick-D suggested on the MilHist talk page, an Australian Theatre headquarters (HQAST) in the 1990s -- I was contracting to Defence when they set it up -- but no such concept that I'm aware of during WWII.
