Submission declined on 7 August 2024 by Mgp28 (talk). This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are: in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject) reliable secondary independent of the subject Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Mgp28 4 months ago.

• Comment: Wikipedia links (on ref 8) are not considered as hinted by the previous reviewer. Most are not properly sourced, see WP:ILC. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️ 05:05, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: The first two references give good detailed information about Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City but don't seem to offer anything about the base independent of the air station. Reference 6 is to a Wikipedia article, which is not allowed under WP:CIRCULAR. The remainder of the references are to US military webpages. These can be reliable sources but are not independent so cannot count as evidence of the base's notability in terms of deciding whether it should have its own article.

Coast Guard BASE Elizabeth City is a major shore installation of United States Coast Guard located in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The Base hosts 5 major Coast Guard commands on its 822 acre footprint and supports a Joint use airfield agreement with the Elizabeth City Regional Airport.

The Coast Guard presence in Elizabeth City began with the commissioning of Air Station Elizabeth City in August 1940. During World War II the footprint experienced significant growth to support Navy and Army needs during the war. Following the end of the World War II, facilities constructed for the war effort were repurposed to establish an aircraft repair and supply center on the footprint. This unit, currently the Aviation Logistics Center, was commissioned in 1947. In 1949 the aircraft repair and supply center commenced providing select aviation enlisted force training. In 1978 the Aviation Technical Training Center was commissioned to consolidate and oversee all aviation enlisted personnel training nationwide.
