52 City of Calgary Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

As per a portion of WP:ORG that seems to have consensus, this is an individual chapter of a national organization that does not display its individual notability. The only sources on the page are links to its sponsor's page. It was listed as a proposed deletion. The proposed deletion tag was removed with the edit summary "I don't think this article should be deleted because, IT IS INDIVIDUALLY NOTABLE. This squadron was the first squadron to be formed in Calgary and has a long history of excellence." Note that there are hundreds of Royal Canadian Air Cadets squadrons in the country -- hundreds of them were the first to be formed in their community, and all have history of excellence. (Note to those that like to search Google for topics: you might have luck abbreviating Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron to RCACS.) Sancho (talk) 15:55, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment (from nominator): Here is a List of Air Cadet Squadrons in Canada. Only one squadron has a Wikipedia article, which I haven't nominated because it provides the claim that it is the first squadron in Canada, not just in its community. I didn't make this nomination because the article on the first Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Squadron in Canada was nominated for deletion, but was kept, because it was the first in Canada. Here is the discussion that resulted in that article being kept: Articles_for_deletion/RCSCC_Victory Sancho (talk) 16:02, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, non-notable.. GreenJoe 17:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Sancho. Although it looks like their motto is a Star Trek reference, which is pretty hilarious for a quasi-military organization. -Joshuapaquin 18:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 14:13, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Yeah, whatever, there are similar cadet groups in high schools across the United States.  They're about as notable as any other high school club.  Ravenswing 15:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I would say they're more notable than a high school club, because they are co-sponsored by the Canadian Department of National defence, supervised by the Canadian Forces, and often do contribute a lot to the community. In small communities, the only Canadian Forces presence is due to the officers supervising the Canadian Cadet Organizations. However, I still think the individual sub-units are usually not notable for an encyclopedia. Sancho (talk) 16:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * That could likewise be said for many high school clubs, which likewise often contribute to their communities and are often sponsored by national organizations (Key Club, Future Farmers of America, 4-H, DECA and so on). Ravenswing 17:39, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, okay, that would be correct. From the way that you said "notable as any other high school club, I thought you meant like, "Noname High School Chess club". Sancho (talk) 18:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete individual branches are not notable. Nuttah68 16:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above, but mention the existence of the cadet squadron (1-2 lines, with a link to the article on the organisation) in the appropriate school article, if determined. While the Royal Canadian Air Cadets are notable in relation to Canada and its military, individual groups of cadets are not solely notable by being "an individual group of cadets" alone. -- saberwyn 20:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - no individual notability. -- Whpq 21:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
