118th Military Police Company (United States)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

In accordance with Articles for deletion/101st Chemical Company (United States) and Articles for deletion/722nd Ordnance Company (United States) non-combat separate companies are not normally considered notable. Buckshot06 (talk) 02:16, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per precedent: company-sized units in the US military have to demonstrate specific notability, this article does not. Also, completely unreferenced.  bahamut0013  words deeds 02:25, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per Wikipedia common law. T3h   1337   b0y  03:28, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: an argument from precedent would appear to run counter to the Other stuff exists (or in this case, WP:Otherstuff like this got deleted.) Am I misunderstanding Precedents here? --Shirt58 (talk) 08:42, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe I should clarify here. While the deletion debates mentioned/referenced above do constitute a precedent, I would also argue that this sub-unit is not notable, independently of the precedents. Does this make it more clear? Regards, Buckshot06 (talk) 11:13, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not to say that "because A got deleted, B should too", it's more the case that "the rationale that got A deleted is the same rationale for B getting deleted". That's what a precedent is.  bahamut0013  words deeds 16:06, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
