 * Delete I believe that there's a long standing convention that individual cadet units aren't notable enough for their own articles - which certainly seems to apply to this unit. --Nick Dowling (talk) 22:48, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


 * DO NOT DELETE I believe that this page can't be merged with any other article on wikipedia, due to the fact that this is a unit of the Royal Canadian Army Cadets and is affiliated to 12 (Vancouver) Service Battalion. This unit has had many significant acomplishments and should be recognised by the Canadian Cadet community, and Cadets worldwide. Theosaul (talk) 23:25, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The article does not state that the unit has had any significant achievements - the only achievement listed is that it was "named one of the best Army Cadet Corps in Pacific Region in 1983", which doesn't sound terribly important in the scheme of things. All the other achievements appear to have been earned by individual members of the unit, and none of them look all that ɶimportant either (and even if one of them was to earn the highest possible award notability would not be inherited from that individual. Wikipedia is not a Cadet website, so you will need to modify the article so that it meets the policy Notability. --Nick Dowling (talk) 09:00, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * IMMEDIATE DELETION the commanding officer of this unit has requested that this artile be removed from wikipedia ASAP. Please, we request that this page be deleted as soon as possible.
 * Comment. The Wikipedia community does not generally follow these types of requests for deletion from the subjects of articles (if an article was created about me, I couldn't just ask for it to be deleted). However, I'm pretty sure that this subject doesn't satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines, so I think it will be deleted when this discussion is closed by another administrator in a few days anyway.
