Talk:Guidon (United States)

Platoon Guidons?
So, the intro paragraph mentions platoons as having guidons, but then the entire article only deals with company level or higher guidons. I can't find any resource that depicts or describes a single platoon guidon. Can platoons actually have their own guidon? How are they marked? Or is the lead inaccurate and does the reference to platoons need to be removed? --68.255.107.49 (talk) 04:04, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Platoon Guidons unlikely
I know from personal experience that the USAF does not have guidons below the squadron-level (a unit of approximately 100). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.127.138.79 (talk) 14:53, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Survey - in support of the move

 * 1) Support: If there hasn't been another Guidon page until now, there's no point in waiting further. Once someone gets the ambition to create another Guidon page, this can be moved back to the disambiguated title.  Until then, it's pointless to have an "X" redirecting to an "X (whatever)".  —Wknight94 (talk) 20:37, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Guidon should be redirecting to Colours, standards and guidons, as generic terms. Again, Guidon (U.S. Army) refers to a specific American interpretation of a broader topic; it does not automatically inherit the disambiguated use, since the term guidon is indeed ambiguous. -- Sig Pig  |SEND - OVER 21:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Survey - in opposition to the move

 * 1) Strong oppose. This article deals with U.S. Army guidons in particular, which are a very different animal from guidons used in (e.g.) Commonwealth armies. -- Sig Pig  |SEND - OVER 12:18, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose per SigPig. Disambiguation is often necessary for common terms even if they don't have their own article (being more dictionary definitions best left to Wikipedia) or which are best redirected to a less ambiguous, existing Wikipedia article as in this case.
