Aviation Rescue Swimmer Badge

No evidence of notability. Citation shows an image of a "Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer insignia" (not the title given here) with zero context about it whatsoever. Only search results are mirrors and people selling the pin without substance about it. Reywas92Talk 18:25, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Aviation Survival Technician, which is the specialty whose training program grants this. I am more than a little dubious about whether this name is an official designation for the AST wings. But it is used on some commercial sites, and redirects are cheap.

 * Georgia Army Vet did what I should have done and found the official designation of this insignia in the regs, but I'm still not convinced that the insignia itself has any notability independent from the program that awards it? The target article, which already depicts this insignia, should of course be amended with the correct name for it. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 23:54, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Lean not to Keep as a standalone article, be need more consensus on where to merge/redirect to
 * Move to Aviation Rescue Swimmer Insignia per COMDTINST M1020.6J (page 4-23)-- Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 16:19, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Britishfinance (talk) 18:51, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - If we're not going to keep it as an article, we'll have to consider other articles, such as Uniform Service Diver Insignia (United States). The title I've proposed is right out of the Coast Guard regulation.-- Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 19:37, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Move to Aviation Rescue Swimmer Insignia and then Redirect to Aviation Survival Technician. The old title can also be redirected there as it is a viable search term.4meter4 (talk) 10:08, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect as noted above.  This is meant to be part of a list, not a stand-alone article.   Montanabw (talk) 19:02, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
 * , I am assuming you meant to say "move" and not "merge"? thanks. Britishfinance (talk) 09:47, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
