Per WP:NOTNEWS. The article only cites one news source. Apart from that, the only sources I can find are from the DEA's own website. Aŭstriano (talk) 08:01, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• You are not looking everywhere that you can. The World Wide Web is not the whole world. There's a paragraph on this that is more detailed than this article, that can be used to expand it, at USDEA 2008, p. 180; and also coverage in the entry at Kleiman & Hawdon 2011, p. 764. At worst this is a merger to some larger article about USDEA anti-money-laundering operations, as at least one other source lumps it in with the likes of Money Trail Initiative, Operation Cali Exchange, and Operation Plata Sucia, showing that being part of a larger subject is how the world knows it.

• Delete: Fails WP:NEVENT since it lacks WP:SUSTAINED coverage. It made the rounds as part of the regular news cycle in June [1], and there's a tiny paragraph a few months earlier [2]. but not much else. If the only significant coverage afterwards is a paragraph in the USDEA's own publication, that's not enough for NEVENT. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 10:48, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• If it's covered in another encyclopedia's entry on her, I think it would make sense to merge to Karen Tandy. PARAKANYAA (talk) 05:52, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Plan Colombia, the correct name of the operation. — Maile (talk) 02:38, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Maile66 Operation Mallorca was a single operation while Plan Colombia was a broad and long-lasting initiative. I would agree with the redirect if Mallorca was mentioned in the Plan Colombia article, but it isn't. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 22:08, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Is it worth a mention in Plan Columbia? or is it better just to delete?

• Delete It seems to have been quite minor, I could hardly find any mention of it. I looked at a bunch of books on drug trafficking and no mention in any of them. This suggests that it would be undue for us to add a mention to Plan Colombia. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 12:09, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
