Deletion of Operation Red Hat

Comment: per  and the above comments. This article is such a mess that none of its current content can be confidently used to redevelop it, even as a stub. Starting again would be the best option

Comment: per . The article is now unsalvageable. I tried to steer the editor in the right direction several months ago, but it fell on deaf ears

Comment: I have extensively culled this article of (almost) everything except chemical, biological, and herbicidal weaponry references and transfer of such materials from Okinawa to Johnson Atoll. Some other related material that I couldn't make a quick decision on has also been retained. This has reduced the size of the article from 200k to 100k. I have also locked the article at the reduced size for a week, noting some editors' repeated actions in re-adding irrelevant material. In this regard I am utilising  in the interests of the wider encyclopedia. I believe this will aid discussion as to whether the article can be retained in its present form. My personal opinion on this deletion debate follows below
