Göta Anti-Aircraft Corps Commemorative Medal

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This has been in CAT:NN for nearly 12 years. It was added with the comment: 'I'm very skeptical about the notability of this medal. Göta luftvärnskår ("Göta air defence corps") was the name of a Swedish army air defence "regiment" 1994-2000 (a predecessor of Luftvärnsregementet), a unit which not have been in battle. Calling it a "decoration" gives a strange impression; most likely it's a local medal handed out to commemorate good services during the unit's existence under this period. Hardly worth an article, in my opinion, could possible be mentioned briefly in the regiment's article. And I seriously question the authority of a local (former) regiment to confer a decoration on foreign military personnel, this kind of decisions tend to be taken centrally.'

It doesn't have a Swedish-language WP article and I couldn't find on a Google search that it does meet WP:N. Possible WP:ATD would be redirect to Air Defence Regiment (Sweden), where it is mentioned. I wouldn't recommend a merge as the information in this article is unreferenced. Boleyn (talk) 07:47, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Merge: The source with the information is here, but that was the only one I could find. As an aside, somebody may need to hide the current text in the article as it is directly copied from the source. --Coolperson177 (talk) 16:55, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect and selective merge to Air Defence Regiment (Sweden) per WP:CHEAP. The medal is already discussed there.4meter4 (talk) 02:32, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
