Unsourced promo. Doubt about notability as I can find few independent sources (with regards: in western script) The Banner talk 12:26, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep- The organization under the Defence ministry, which received its own department in the ministry in 2015 is notable. It is notable per WP:MILUNIT. National armed forces or branches thereof. Examples include Canadian Forces, People's Liberation Army Navy, Fleet Air Arm, Royal Marines, Special Republican Guard and United States Army.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 01:21, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - Reviewing historical versions of the article, I can understand why it was nominated. Since then, however, it has been vastly improved. An examination of the sources it now cites plainly shows that it meets WP:GNG. Examples of somewhat similar notable organizations would be National Cadet Corps (India) and ROTC. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:57, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. How anyone would think that a national cadet organisation established by statute was not notable is frankly beyond me. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:39, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you should read the nomination: "Unsourced promo." And when you look through the history, you will see repeated cases of adding the promo, what often came close to copyvio. The Banner talk 16:31, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It also says "Doubt about notability...". Is it a notable topic? Clearly it is. If it's badly written or somebody has added promotional material that's irrelevant to its notability. Rubbish is added to many articles - that doesn't mean we delete them. We just delete the rubbish. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:48, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * And that is now exactly the way how many articles get spammy: "it is notable so we don't delete it". To make it worse: cleaning up is also just rarely done. The Banner talk 19:02, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
