82d Troop Carrier Squadron

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A small logistics unit. I don't think there is any encyclopedic notability, or references to show it, besides the government unit history. I prodded, was deprodded as "of historical interest" I'm usually very inclusive here, but for a support unit, think that's too minor for an encyclopedia.  DGG ( talk ) 17:31, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep an aircraft squadron with a history that includes active operations during the second world war must be notable. MilborneOne (talk) 18:01, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep.  Unit engaged in combat operations, not a support unit such as a supply or maintenence or base support squadron.  The unit Received a Distinguished Unit citation for dropping the 82d Airborne Division over Normandy on D-Day,  other combat operations during the Northern France Campaign (1944);  Operation Market-Garden, Invasion of Southern France,   Operation Varsity, 1945.

 * Keep, per WP:MILUNIT. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 22:30, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Flying squadrons can be assumed to have had sufficient coverage to have met WP:ORG. Nick-D (talk) 04:21, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Air force squadrons are generally considered to be notable. The fact it was a "logistic" unit is neither here nor there - non-combat units are not inherently less notable than combat units in anything except the narrow minds of some, usually immature, member/veterans/wannabe members of combat units. -- Necrothesp (talk) 23:42, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per Necrothesp; even if it was noncombat, it oculd still be notable. Bearian (talk) 21:49, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
