Cannot find any sources besides the one 2003 report. Given it seems to lack official government recognition, WP:GNG applies over WP:NPLACE and I can find basically nothing about this place. Allan Nonymous (talk) 17:33, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~*Keep~~ but rename. There was a refugee camp there and I believe it was notable per 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and other sources. I think “garrison” is just a mistranslation of “مخيم” and the intended meaning is “refugee camp”. Mccapra (talk) 06:14, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem here is that, since this place is not government recognized, WP:GNG applies. The first four here are primary sources, 5 is WP:ROUTINE coverage, and 6 about another camp and only mentions this one in passing. Allan Nonymous (talk) 13:03, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect or Merge to American occupation of Ramadi as an AtD. Agree with source analysis by the nominator. The sources applied and raised here verify the subject's existence, but do not support an article on it, none of them meeting IRS, imho. Better to send the redirect to an article which might give the subject needed context. BusterD (talk) 14:00, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect per BusterD. Mccapra (talk) 06:48, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
