• Delete largely unreferenced and nothing showing the notability of 1989 for the Belgian Armed Forces. Mztourist (talk) 10:48, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Article meets
  WP:AOAL for keeping a list. 1989 is a major milestone year in the Cold War. Per CLN "Deleting these rudimentary lists is a waste of these building blocks"   // Timothy :: talk  04:30, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply

No-one disputes that 1989 was a major milestone year in the Cold War, but that is irrelevant. There is nothing that shows the notability of 1989 for the Belgian Armed Forces. Mztourist (talk) 05:16, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Belgium is a part of NATO, the end of the Cold War impacted all NATO nations militaries.   // Timothy :: talk  05:45, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All of which falls under the Cold War and NATO, there is nothing that shows the significance of 1989 for the Belgian Armed Forces. Mztourist (talk) 11:29, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Belgian Armed Forces participated in the Cold War and were a core member of NATO; they were not bystanders but active participants. A war ending is a significant milestone for an involved military. The end of a war will result in significant changes for a military force.   // Timothy :: talk  12:56, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously there was no actual war and this page doesn't say anything about the impact of the end of the Cold War on the Belgian forces. This is a snapshot without any underlying context. Mztourist (talk) 07:59, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• • For the umpteenth time, CLN AOAL doesn't give a free pass to ignore

• Delete - Non-notable. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:14, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Notability for this genre of military article seems to rely on ludicrous daisy chain of notability. This one is no different and no real argument has been made for why the exact structure of the Belgian army is specifically notable in this specific year. Just because it's part of an alliance that was notable doesn't confer said notability on every component part of that alliance. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 01:55, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per
  WP:GNG. As with many other discussions, there is nothing about the makeup of this particular army in this particular year that is notable enough to merit a standalone article. CThomas³ (talk) 19:19, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply
