Shropshire Army cadet force

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Shropshire ACF is not only unencyclpedic, its also not notable for an article on WP Jez ☎ ✉ ✍ 15:56, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * delete per no reliable sources. It's a sort of scouting setup attached to the british army as far as i can tell, but only refs found were its own website, websites of cadet forces in other towns, and references on shropshire govt websites.Bali ultimate (talk) 16:08, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Have you had a look at their website? Clearly a well established program. Here's one of their activities. http://shropshireacf.org.uk/Annual%20Camp.htm I don't know why they shouldn't have an appropriate article on Wikipedia. Here's there e-mail info@shropshireacf.org.uk I'm sure they would be happy to provide a reference for local news coverage of their youth programs. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:23, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * 'It is not a scouting based organization it is the other way around and to suggest that it has no reliable sources because it, the british military seems to be one. also i am researching more of the history of the Shropshire ACF so that the page could be enlarged and made to be more relevant.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bnustudent (talk • contribs) 17:29, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * comment Other way around? You mean its an "organization-based scouting"? I'm confused. At any rate, i'm sure it exists. But i find no reliable 2nd party sources for it which would support an article.Bali ultimate (talk) 17:41, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'd like to make a call for a deletion of the branch units it lists, for lack of reliable sources of notability. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 19:33, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * comment - I nominated this article for deletion. Shropshire Army cadet force is the parent organisation for several detachments.. They are simply detachment of young people, numbering no more than 40. One detachment is Newport ACF, which is also nominated for deletion. A single detachment, and county force are just not notable enough as an organisation.Wikipedia is not google and its not the yellow pages .. Sorry but this article really should go. If you want to write about the Army Cadet Force, improve that article. Jez ☎ ✉ ✍ 20:35, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This doesn't meet the relevant notability standards at WP:ORG, and there's a long standing convention that individual cadet organisations are generally not notable (the British Army cadets are notable, but few sub-units are). Nick-D (talk) 09:59, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Just another non-notable cadet organisation. MilborneOne (talk) 23:46, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
