List of RAF Regiment squadrons
Non-notable list; aprox 300 entries with only 1 working internal link (all the rest are redlinks). Argon233&ensp;  T &ensp; C  @ &ensp; &notin; &ensp; 05:01, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Wikipedia is not a list of links. Especially not links to nothing. Darquis 08:11, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Hold. A couple of weeks ago I noticed while going through a couple of articles on wartime cricketers that someone had just converted all the mentions of particular squadrons to links. Now it may be the case that someone is getting set for a mammoth attempt at reorganising the RAF section of WP, but I dont really want to snoop around and try and figure that out from footprints right now. But I would suggest waiting on it a bit. Hornplease 09:13, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Someone may be getting ready to work on the RAF, but these pages have been sitting unedited, for the most part, for almost 2 years now. It might help if you could track down signifigant recent changes as relate to this.  If you can, by all means, let's keep this page if it will facilitate someone's work (although I suspect they could just as easily have it within their userspace) Darquis 22:01, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Hold as per HornpleaseI agree somethings afoot. --DV8 2XL 19:44, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. While I agree with Hornplease, I believe the user should start one step at a time. Most of the articles linked to the main list will be just one or two paragraphs long, which does not (apparently) justify having lists of wikilinks. I suggest starting creating wikilinks to every list in the Royal Air Force article, and then expand them one at a time, creating lists with content and not list of wikilinks. -- ReyBrujo 16:54, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not the editor you have been talking about, but I am doing a lot of work on the various Royal Air Force articles.  I see no need for these lists - maybe in the distant future if we do eventually have lots of articles on, in this case, RAF Regiment Squadrons, but not now.  Sc147 20:43, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
