Justification

Please let me know if you see some reason to delete this article. The base is on the National Register of Historic Places, has trained untold numbers of veterans and active duty personnel, and simply has as much right to exist as any other military base article.

Thank you for creating this excellent new article! I'm not an administrator so I can't do whatever Wikipedia does to review it, but I am delighted to see it and will add some history and links later when I have more time. --MelanieN (talk) 16:11, 3 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]

Well, looking again at the "new article" tag, it seems that anyone (other than the creator) can review the article and remove the tag. So I will remove it. This is an excellent article and a very notable, Wikipedia-worthy subject. --MelanieN (talk) 16:31, 3 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]

Thanks! :) Please do add new info. There's a ton of it. Dave Biskner (talk) 20:42, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, the base has a lot that can be said about it. You have created a great article. I do have some information about the base's history and I'm delighted to have a place to put it! I added some of it. I wasn't able to find a reference for the graves on the golf course. I may just have to go over there and see them for myself.

By the way, it might be fun to nominate this article for a "Did you know..." feature for the front page of Wikipedia. I think we have to do that within 7 days of creation of a new article. One thing they will require for a "did you know..." is at least one reference citation for every paragraph - that can be a pain! --MelanieN (talk) 00:54, 4 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]

There, I nominated it for a "Did you know..." listing. You can see the discussion here under "articles created Dec. 2". --MelanieN (talk) 08:24, 4 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]

Not the first "non-shiip"

There was a previous USS Recruit, constructed in NYC in 1917 and used primarily as a recruiting station. See historic photo from Shorpy.com. Mangoe (talk) 16:04, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then this reference Quarterdeck.org was in error. I will remove the "first" claim. --MelanieN (talk) 23:39, 4 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]
