Merger[edit]

Per WP:MILMOS#UNITNAME An article about a unit, formation, or base should be placed at the official name used by the armed forces to which the unit belongs. When a unit or base has had multiple names over the course of its existence, the title should generally be the last name used; however, exceptions can be made in cases where the subject is clearly more commonly known by one of the previous names. The squadron has never used its current name on active duty, so this is the most appropriate location for the article. --Lineagegeek (talk) 22:25, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose this merge. See my comments at Talk:335th Bombardment Group#Merger and consider merging 477th Bombardment Squadron to 335th Bombardment Group instead. --Scott Davis ^Talk 09:54, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Closing: uncontested objection and no support. Klbrain (talk) 13:18, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
