Brought to my attention by a new editor after I deleted a similar article he'd created. It's been here for over four years with no assertion of notability (and I'm not sure military reserve units are automatically notable) and no sources other than its own website. I don't see a future for it. Daniel Case (talk) 15:47, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Minor coverage in the Toronto Star, the Vancouver Sun, Canadian government press release, Visited by HRH Prince Phillip, Miami Herald, the CBC, and I could go on. Dozens of minor and related mentions in reliable sources produces enough to write an article about the HMCS Discovery, not to mention the book added to the article since this AfD was posted.

- Keep. Naval reserve units in Canada generally have enough coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. In some senses, they are warships (consider their names), and warships are generally automatically notable. - Eastmain (talk) 21:52, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Enough notability to be kept in my opinion. Could be better sourced to prove it did these notable things but other then that it is a pretty good article for it's size. --123.243.102.177 (talk) 22:03, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. In my opinion the sources given are enough to establish notability, and as said above warships (and this is a warship in any sense of the word) are generally considered notable at AFD. --NellieBly (talk) 23:25, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Nomination withdrawn, then. It appears community consensus is overwhelming here. Daniel Case (talk) 05:14, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
