Deletion of 2016 Indian Line of Control strike

Comment: Firstly, the article India–Pakistan border skirmishes (2016–present) (formerly called India–Pakistan military confrontation (2016–present)) had clearly gone beyond it's earlier coverage. The original article also covered the constant border skirmishes which occurred after the Indian claim of a "surgical strike". The end result was a massive article which covered a huge range of incidents from end of September 2016 to present. However, there is one incident among this which is  which had a lasting effect, had sufficient depth and duration of coverage, and importantly was covered by a diversity of international media and formed a major basis for two books. The content on this article was taken from the original article and is covered by a huge number of diverse, neutral sources over a sufficiently long duration of time. The content of this article was long standing in the original article and itself does not violate neutrality (the editors do not disagree on the CONTENT of the article). The nominator him/herself agrees that there should be a distinct article for the events following the 2016 event but that should not be this article but another article (this entire logic seems weird to me). Next, they point to a page move discussion (which happened in November 2016) that happened on a page which was not primarily about the "surgical strike" event but about numerous associated cross-border firing events between India and Pakistan. I strongly believe that the nominator wants is a page move on this article rather a page delete and this is not the right forum for this. Last, on the discussion of a POV name, the word "strike" is defined by Merriam Webster as as "to engage in battle, to make a military attack". To me the name simply implies an attack by Indian on LOC which is supported by numerous independent sources (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-37504308,https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/india-strikes-pakistan-why-it-s-very-very-significant-n656656, http://www.france24.com/en/20160929-india-pakistan-retaliation-uri-surgical-strike-kashmir). This name does not imply that India crossed the LOC just that India initiated an attack. I fail to see how the article name violates POV (of course other editors might disagree) and I am happy to have that discussion but this a forum for deletion of an article not it's move

Comment: Nominator has failed to explain any justifiable reason for the deletion. Based on what the Nom has said it appears he has a problem with the current article title and is not happy with the title due to his POV, if so he should start a discussion for renaming and not an AfD. The title in itself is neutral and has been decided after lot of discussions and consensus on talk. The article has been split as per the policies of  after getting consensus by the Author.
