Much of this article is a list of CIA failures/problems--not a balanced history of the organization. The periods I reviewed--from the 1970s to the present--exclusively catalog errors and failures, and rely mostly on one source: Weiner. Certainly, mistakes and oversights are part of an organization's history, but it's hard to imagine that the CIA has achieved nothing constructive worth mentioning at any point in the last 50 years. A subject-matter expert should review the article and make additions and/or changes to achieve balance.

Why was the section about the New York Times article about the CIA shutting down it's climate change research removed? I haven't looked into it, but it shouldn't be a space problem, and that seems notable.TeeTylerToe (talk) 17:09, 15 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
The well compiled article, "Covert United States foreign regime change actions" was apparently deleted and redirected here, but little of its contents can be found.
Not even the now-public Polish covert regime change action is contained or mentioned anywhere in this article.
The deleted article can be seen in all its detail at archive.org
There is no explanation for omission of such public information in the talk related to deletion of that article.
A modicum amount of deleted content is put in a sidebar which contains semi-relevant links, some of which just redirect to this article itself.

My semi-random wikignoming led me across the path of the National Intelligence Agency (United States) article. I don't know what to make of it. The history is a jumble of claims it exists(or existed), that it's just an artefact of a name error in some document, or is just some kind of joke to do with a game. The references aren't great and the content as it is now is confusing and not really of much use to visitors. I don't really know what to do with this. Should it be renamed to National Intelligence Authority? Should it be a redirect to this article? Or shall we just delete it? -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 22:21, 28 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
