Proposed merge with Atlantic Coast Aeronautical Station[edit]

Another editor recently created the ACAS article, and it looks like it is just what this school used to be called, as one of the references on this page states. Therefore, I propose we merge the newly created article into this one. Jinkinson (talk) 01:48, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Good idea - was just NPPing; nothing to confer notability on it. Go Phightins! 04:55, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't merge. They had a Chicago location during World War I. We'll update the main article after collecting the appropriate references. TeriEmbrey (talk) 21:34, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@TeriEmbrey: Sorry, we had already done the merge (May 28) as of your July 28 comment. Why should we not merge the ACAS simply because there was another location identified? How is the ACAS on its own (with the text that was taken from the page that was already merged below) enough for the notability of its own page? Please provide details of your rationale. Thanks a bunch! :)
Original text of ACAS page:
The Atlantic Coast Aeronautical Station was sponsored by aviation pioneer Glenn H. Curtiss on a 20-acre tract east of Newport News (VA) Boat Harbor in the Fall of 1915 with Captain Thomas Scott Baldwin as head. Many civilian students, including Canadians, later became WW1 flyers. Victor Carlstrom, Vernon Castle, Eddie Stinson and Gen Billy Mitchell trained here. The school was disbanded in 1922. - Newport News Historical Committee, 1989.

We'll just update the main article. The Museum & Library has the Dr. Charles E. Metz Collection, which is a rich source on modern aviation topics. TeriEmbrey (talk) 20:42, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
