Regional Cadet Support Unit (Pacific)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is non-notable, regional sub-unit of a national organization. I believe that this should be deleted as per WP:ORG. I also disclose that I am a member of RCSU (Pacific). Sancho 19:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC) 
 * Delete - It is a sub-unit of a larger organisation. There is no indication in the article that this unit  has some distinguishing characteristic that allows it to stand alone as an article.  A cursory search reveals no reliable sources to identify any notability. -- Whpq (talk) 17:49, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - Although the Canadian Army tend only to list Regiments and larger units, I think that WP:N has been satisfied in this case. This (civilian) Cadet unit bridges the gap (if I read the Article correctly) between Civilian and Military, as well as being part of the command and support structure within Canada. Seeing as WP is not paper, I believe we can spare the space to allow the forseeable 3-5 articles that will comprehensivly detail the entire command and support structure of Cadets in Canada. Furthermore, I am not convinced that treating this ORG(?) as per WP:ORG is correct, as this is far more than a local chapter with only local effects, its command is the entire 'Pacific' region (whatever that defines; thats an edit issue, not delete issue).

 * Comment &mdash; You are correct. There would only be six possible articles at this level organization (the regional level): Pacific, Prairie, Central, Eastern, Atlantic, and Northern, so this wouldn't be too bad to keep. It would describe effectively the command structure of the Canadian Forces support of the Canadian Cadet Organization other than the individual squadrons of which there are hundreds across the country. A couple of corrections though: this is a military unit, not a civilian unit, and Cadets Canada (that you link to) is just the marketing name and logo. Regardless of whether or not we treat this as WP:ORG or not, I still have not been able to find sources independent from the subject that give it significant coverage.

 * Relist &mdash; requesting another re-listing to get more feedback on this. Sancho 09:18, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * comment if this article is to be kept, there should be independent reliable sources to show that this organization has notability independent of its parent. Argyriou (talk) 20:01, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. These cadet corps cruft articles have got to stop. We have articles on the national organizations and per WP:ORG that is sufficient. We are not a directory of every subunit of the organization. --Dhartung | Talk 05:50, 11 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. The article is not that necessary. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 09:48, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
