 * Since that brigade fought with the 41st Division, I propose to redirect 122nd Brigade (United Kingdom) to 41st Division (United Kingdom).--Le Petit Chat (talk) 19:34, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to 41st Division (United Kingdom). Sources may exist to create a proper article in due course, but for now nothing will be lost through merging. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  07:11, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:BEFORE failed, the article is sourced. A Google books search reveals numerous examples of coverage in Western Front histories. There is substantial coverage in the history of the East Surrey Regiment, and that's just what can be found online. Kges1901 (talk) 12:33, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sources clearly exist to meet WP:GNG. This was a brigade, for crying out loud. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:27, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep I'm certain we'll be able to find significant coverage in one of the many histories of the Britain in WW1. Unfortunately, this might require a search of the Internet Archive or an actual library. A Google search probably isn't going to cut it. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 07:54, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
 * P.S. This source suggests there is likely to be more info on the brigade's involvement in the Battle of Flers–Courcelette, the first tank action in the war. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 08:06, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. We should, as a matter of principle, have articles on formations at brigade level or above that were involved in major operations in a world war regardless, even if sourcing is scarce. But in this case it is not necessary to pull such an IAR argument as plenty of sourcing exists.. Note that the 122nd were one of the infantry formations following on behind the first ever use of tanks in warfare at the Battle of Flers–Courcelette. SpinningSpark 13:38, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
