The page is an extension of the "Fictional Regiments of the British Army" page that is full of links to articles about other fictional regiments. The article contains information about the regiment mentioned in the story "The Drums of the Fore and Aft" and there are other fictional regiments so profiled, some from TV shows or movies with less provenance that this article. I say that if the main page and its other sub-articles stand, then this should stand as well. The "Thursday Next" series of books, for exaple, has a healthy representation there, and they detail units from an alternate universe that hunt werewolves and vampires with hovertanks!

 * The article referred to is List of Fictional British Regiments. Personally, I think a list is just the thing for this information--or articles about the work or the author. DGG 16:56, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

The article is about a fictional group, cites nonsensical notability, no references to assert notability, patent nonsense in my opinion, even if it is something by Kipling it does not belong here Tdmg 07:41, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Didn't seem to fit into any speedy category; I doubt it is nonsense, if it is the subject of Rudyard Kipling's story (or poem) "The Drums of the Fore and Aft". But it certainly has no place in WP as an article about the fictional regiment. If Kipling's work is well-enough known, perhaps that is the proper subject. DGG 08:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
