Like "Operation Purple Haze," the article cites no legitimate sources and a Google search gives no evidence for its existence. PlotinusEnjoyer (talk) 02:58, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. As with Operation Purple Haze, subject appears to be made up. A Google search of the subject yielded nothing. Madeleine (talk) 03:10, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Not a hoax, just a copy of this military press release. The ___domain mnf-iraq.com was usurped by a spam site. Clearly not notable though. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 03:46, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Fails WP:GNG. The article lacks significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. The only reference is from a Multi-National Force Iraq (MNF-I) website, which is a primary source and does not establish notability. The operation itself appears to be a minor raid with no long-term strategic impact and similar small-scale raids during the Iraq War have not received standalone articles.
