I propose to merge Naval Air Station Port Lyautey into Kenitra Air Base. Naval Air Station Port Lyautey/Craw Field became Kenitra Air Base so I see no need to have two separate pages. Much of the detail on Kenitra Air Base is actually about Craw Field/Naval Air Station Port Lyautey in WWII, but as Kenitra is the continuing entity it should be the target of the merge.

I would submit that Kenitra while in use as Naval Air Station Port Lyautey especially during World War II has a history all of it's own that I believe deserves to be separate from the Kenitra page. I am not necessarily opposed to the merging of the information from one-page into another, but as a historical artifact registrar that is especially interested in naval aviation, I become concerned that with merging of this type the information can become not physically diluted but more hidden or maybe more intrinsically diluted. I would like to vote to keep the page separate and would even expand on some of the page's information. For instance, the page references two US Navy seaplane squadrons, one being VP-63. What was the other one? I also understand there may have been a hospital or infirmary on the base. Is that true? Also linking one page to the other makes it easy for one to find out about Kenitra if you are on the NAS Port Lyautey page and vice-a-versa.Jch50754 (talk) 19:22, 10 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
