NC-802nd AFJROTC
I feel bad about this one because the creator is trying to do the right thing — it's well-formatted and even has footnotes. But at the same time a) it's a JROTC unit and would thus require some extraordinary claims for notability which b) I don't see in the article and, given the information there already, do not see coming either.

 * It is no different from any of the other JROTC unit pages. it was written by a JROTC veteran (me) who worded it so that the information there was confined to what was found in the sources. Also, "notability" is a very relative term. The unit is highly distinguished in AFOATS, even if it is unlikely it will ever garner any kind of "media" attention. -Ed! 03:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


 * It's commendable that you stuck with your sources. But that doesn't change the fact that this unit does not rate a Wikipedia article. See what we mean by notability here. Daniel Case 03:47, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Hm. I will say again that the units that I created (all but the california one) garnered the Distinguished Unit Citation, which in itself is quite notable in the Air Force. Still, I see your point. -Ed! 04:08, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - other JROTC unit pages have been deleted as non-notable- . Looking at backward links, there are other articles that need to be deleted--Nobunaga24 03:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Daniel Case and Nobunaga24. -- Kinu t /c  03:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above, also should the other JROTC articles be up for deletion? Dinosaur puppy 03:46, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Individual junior cadet units are not notable. There are thousands of them in many countries. -- Necrothesp 22:29, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
