In my opinion, the article is not notable. Only one reference is listed and it is not independent of the topic of the article. In the case of this article, the squadron is company-sized. PercyPigUK ( talk) 19:29, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

KeepAviation squadrons normally warrant their own articles. Predecessor units were larger: Norfolk Yeomanry and Suffolk Yeomanry have their own articles. And sources do not have to be independent of the topic of an article,. We don't need to write articles on football from sources on cricket. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:41, 24 April 2024 (UTC)- Secondary or tertiary sources determine notability (
WP:PSTS) so if they are not included in the article, notability cannot be proven. This article is about an
army squadron (
company-sized) instead of an RAF squadron (
battalion-sized).

- There is no requirement for the secondary or tertiary sources that establish notability to actually be used in an article. Notability is proven by their existence, not their presence.
WP:BEFORE:
If you find that adequate sources do appear to exist, the fact that they are not yet present in the article is not a proper basis for a nomination.
