Australian Air Defence Areas[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Redundant and poorly sourced. The commands in this stub are fully covered by the more detailed and accurately framed RAAF area commands article (they were not simply "air defence commands" and existed before SWPA's formation and after its disbandment); the sole reference, ozatwar, is not considered a reliable source.

Delete clearly redundant to RAAF area commands. Probably could have been boldly redirected instead of bringing to AfD. --AussieLegend (✉) 14:44, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Considered that but as the term was not officially used (to my knowledge) I figured best to remove entirely. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 21:54, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's fair enough I suppose. Prior to this AfD the article had only seen 38 views in the last 90 days, so it's obviously not a very searched for term. --AussieLegend (✉) 08:27, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as redundant article. Covered by RAAF area commands. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:51, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per above. (Thanks. Missed the other article when I deorphaned. But the deorphaning has worked exactly as it should; brought the article to the wikicommunity's attention!) Eno Lirpa (talk) 21:01, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, tks for that. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 21:54, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't think that Australia has ever had "air defence areas", and ozatwar is very unreliable. Nick-D (talk) 21:51, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nomination, the article seems to have been created a while ago before we had a more comprehensive parent article. Since this is now well covered at RAAF area commands it seems redundant. Given the issues with terminology deletion seems more appropriate than a redirect. Anotherclown (talk) 05:14, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as discussed above, the article was created prior to the more comprehensive articles created and expanded by the knowledgeable Ian Rose. Regards Newm30 (talk) 23:43, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
SNOW Delete as no context for a better separate article. SwisterTwister talk 05:11, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
