Air Force ROTC Detachment 550

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

Local-level organization (ROTC unit) with no coverage in independent sources presented in the article. Its major claim of significance, winning Right of Line in 2004, is not even backed up by the linked page of the RPI article. Fails general notability, and I don't see a claim about the organization that meets WP:ORG. —C.Fred (talk) 20:56, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete: the detachment by itself is probably not wiki-notable, although it could probably receive mention in a wider article about Air Force ROTC (if it is not already mentioned there). As it stands, the detachment has (according to the article) about 60 cadets, which means it is roughly equivalent in size to two platoons (not even a company, or maybe at a stretch we could call it a company-minus). As we have rarely in the past held companies to be notable without special circumstances and as this article does not provide enough sources to demonstrate these circumstances, for consistency I feel I must vote delete. Happy to change my vote if significant sources can be found and added to the article. — AustralianRupert (talk) 14:03, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
