After a search, I only see one independent source that contains significant coverage ( [1]) and it is unclear if it is reliable or not. Either way, one source is not enough to pass WP:BASIC. –– FormalDude (talk) 04:57, 7 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Keep. This is the highest non-commissioned position in the UK. A Google search shows numerous articles about his appointment. The article certainly could do with more citations, but there is no reason to delete it. For certain he passes notability, I find questioning this unusual.

Notability is not inherent. If you know of numerous articles about his appointment, please provide them. –– FormalDude (talk) 09:58, 7 January 2024 (UTC) reply

I agree with your decision to draftify it back at the beginning of Dec 2023. However, the version I approved via WP:AfC was much better. I notice that @ Plyworth, @ AviationEnzo and a couple of others have continued to improve it.

I have posted to WT:MILHIST, let's get a few more opinions. Ldm1954 ( talk) 10:31, 7 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Keep There are other articles about previous highest non-commissioned officers of the UK air force. See Warrant Officer of the Royal Air Force. Obviously this article needs more inline citations. Perhaps there is a little more that can be found about him. I think he is notable enough to have an article, just like some of the other recent incumbents.

Ldm1954 FormalDude In addition to the RAF official site citation, which is presumably reliable in addition to the citation cited in the nomination, see https://currentaffairs.adda247.com/subby-subramaniam-appointed-warrant-officer-of-uks-raf/, https://indiapost.com/subby-subramaniam-appointed-warrant-officer-of-uks-raf/; https://www.darpanmagazine.com/people/globalindians/subby-subramaniam-appointed-warrant-officer-of-uks-raf/; https://asianlite.com/2023/news/uk-news/subby-subramaniam-named-warrant-officer-of-uks-raf/; https://newskarnataka.com/world/europe/uk-subby-subramaniam-appointed-warrant-officer-of-raf/06042023; https://ommcomnews.com/world-news/subby-subramaniam-appointed-warrant-officer-of-uks-raf; https://www.cityairnews.com/content/subby-subramaniam-appointed-warrant-officer-of-uks-raf; https://www.sakshipost.com/news/subby-subramaniam-appointed-warrant-officer-uks-raf-177468. There are more. Seems notable enough with these. Donner60 ( talk) 23:36, 7 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Agree, that certainly is enough to pass notability. I guess I should've searched his nickname, my mistake! –– FormalDude (talk) 01:01, 8 January 2024 (UTC) reply
