The result was delete. - Mailer Diablo 11:57, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I feel bad about this one because the creator is trying to do the right thing — it's well-formatted and even has footnotes. But at the same time a) it's a JROTC unit and would thus require some extraordinary claims for notability which b) I don't see in the article and, given the information there already, do not see coming either.

It is no different from any of the other JROTC unit pages. it was written by a JROTC veteran (me) who worded it so that the information there was confined to what was found in the sources. Also, "notability" is a very relative term. The unit is highly distinguished in AFOATS, even if it is unlikely it will ever garner any kind of "media" attention. -Ed! 03:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's commendable that you stuck with your sources. But that doesn't change the fact that this unit does not rate a Wikipedia article. See what we mean by notability here. Daniel Case 03:47, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. I will say again that the units that I created (all but the california one) garnered the Distinguished Unit Citation, which in itself is quite notable in the Air Force. Still, I see your point. -Ed! 04:08, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - other JROTC unit pages have been deleted as non-notable- [1][2]. Looking at backward links, there are other articles that need to be deleted--Nobunaga24 03:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Daniel Case and Nobunaga24. --Kinu ^t/_c 03:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above, also should the other JROTC articles be up for deletion? Dinosaur puppy 03:46, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Individual junior cadet units are not notable. There are thousands of them in many countries. -- Necrothesp 22:29, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
