02 Raffles Scout Group

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The original article from this space was merged into Singapore Scout Association two years ago, as the Scouting WikiProject has guidelines that local units are not notable. This recreation is a vanity piece, Scoutspamvanicruft, and should be deleted. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 07:21, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to Singapore Scout Associationand protect. There may be a small element of notability as the oldest Scout Group in Singapore, although it was not the first, and being foundered in 1922 when Scouting started in 1908 is rather odd. Singapore Scout Association states that Scouting in Singapore goes back to at least 1910. However this needs to be well sourced and even then the notability is very slight. It is best mentioned in the history section of Singapore Scout Association. I tried to remove vanity material but if all is removed there is nothing much left. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  07:54, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge to Raffles Institution (Secondary). The group is founded as part of the School and is still a co curricular activity of the school. All thou the claim of oldest surviving Scout group in Singapore looks genuine, I don't think a article will grown to more than a stub. --Egel Reaction? 15:11, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The oldest Scout group in Singapore is a claim that would make this group instantly notable as the scouting wikiproject has a provision for this in the individual troups guideline. Someone should deal with the inconsistency before it is deleted. Is the claim in the other article referenced? = Mgm|(talk) 15:37, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Singapore Scout Association. Stifle (talk) 16:41, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Singapore Scout Association or Scouting in Singapore. Notability deserves mention, even a section, on one of the Singapore pages, but is not notable enough internationally for own article. DiverScout (talk) 01:13, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
