Special Tactical Squad

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No indication of notability and completely unreferenced. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:41, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep The topic is a valid one though, this unit does exist and does get news coverage, and presumably even more coverage in Chinese. I've pinged the originator asking them if they want it moved to Draft so they can take their time adding sources. MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:53, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Are we sure this isn't a duplication of Special Duties Unit, another sub-unit of Police Tactical Unit (Hong Kong)? I daresay a merge may be in order here, regardless. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:12, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
 * No, wait, the Special Duties Unit is much older, sorry. Anyway, this seems to be a case where an editor has made a content fork unnecessarily: there is no mention of the Special Tactical Squad that I can see in the PTU main article, and that's why it remains an unreferenced orphan. I'd suggest a merge and redirect to Police Tactical Unit (Hong Kong), claimed to be the parent organization, based on the poor state of this stub -- unless someone wishes to roll up their sleeves and really expand it.

 * Keep or merge to Police Tactical Unit (Hong Kong). Obviously a valid topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:45, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
