Subject fails WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. I was able to find this mere mention in thestrategybridge but even with the Air Force Times citation present in the article that's only two sources and not enough for GNG. The school, as a search term, shows up in publications by the school's students and the ROUTINE coverage of officers posted to lead the school, but nothing about the subject that's also independent of it.

 * Merge with Air University (United States Air Force), which needs some updating. Although the command structure of the Air Force's Air University is somewhat opaque, a 2008 Air Force Magazine article says, "AU is now organized like a flying wing. The Air War College, School of Advanced Air and Space Studies, Air Command and Staff College, Squadron Officer School, and Air and Space Basic Course center come under an umbrella organization which leaders hope will be called the Carl A. Spaatz Center for Officer Education." The WP article on the Air University does not mention the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies, and the Carl A. Spaatz Center has apparently been "disestablished", but Air University (scroll down the page) lists it among its officer education programs.

 * Merge to Air University (United States Air Force). I think there may be sources out there (there sure are lots of sources naming graduates!), but with the current sourcing and length a marge is appropriate to the parent organizations. Vici Vidi (talk) 08:02, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge - to Air University (United States Air Force). Per WP:ATD and that's what we'd do with a nn component school at a university. John from Idegon (talk) 20:04, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment I believe I started the article some time ago, leaving it to others to expand. I did a bit of web searching just now. It's not too hard to find additional sources for this school. There's this web article from 2010. It's from Air University. (There appear to be a number of web articles available on this topic from the US Air Force and Air University, etc.) But there's also this article from Air Power Review in 2010: "The School of Advanced Air and Space Studies and its Impact on Air Power Thinking". And there's this 2008 article from Vol. No. 49 of Joint Force Quarterly by Stephen D. Chiabotti: "A Deeper Shade of Blue: The School of Advanced Air and Space Studies". If a consensus of editors feels a merge is best, fine. But I'm not convinced a lack of available sources should be the cause. Airborne84 (talk) 05:24, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * The general practice for universities is that the component schools get discussed in the main article (with general exceptions for medical and law schools), until the point WP:FORK becomes appropriate. Not certain that applies here, but it seems logical it should. John from Idegon (talk) 06:03, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
