Agree - but before losing an article on a former RAF station, it should be proposed at category level? I'm not sure how to do that - perhaps someone can advise. I'll put a note on
Talk:Pembrey Airport, too.
Pembrey West Wales International Airport is just one of several users of the airfield. To merge under the heading "Pembrey Airport" would seem to be misleading or even self serving. "RAF Pembrey" may or may not be the right title, Pembrey Airfield is one alternative. The history on "Pembrey Airport" could be transferred to "RAF Pembrey", if properly sourced. However the current amount of sourcing on "Pembrey Airport" suggests the information and plans might better be only on a commercial site outside Wiki.

Having thought this through for a while, I'm now tending towards not merging
Pembrey Airport and
RAF Pembrey. My thoughts are -
I agree with SovalValtos that any unsupported commercial info should be stripped from
Pembrey Airport...
But that
Pembrey Airport should be left as an article with the basic facts in it, rather than not have an article at all, as it does have an ICAO code. There will probably be verifiable information to add at a later date if the airport does grow as planned...
And that
Pembrey Airport should have a minimal history section on the RAF aspect with a link to
RAF Pembrey, with most of the RAF information added to
RAF Pembrey. It's not the airport that has history, but the airfield...
So there may be a case for changing
Pembrey Airport to Pembrey Airfield, but I don't have any strong feelings on that one. If it did happen, then
Pembrey Circuit should be linked to it.
