Bergslagen Artillery Regiment

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable. No "independent sources", just its own publicity. Sweden was never in any wars after 1943 (not until 2001.…… MayVenn (talk) 02:42, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Any battalion or above military units can be presumed to be notable (WP:MILUNIT). Regimental histories aren't just publicity and there are a few more sources on the Swedish Wikipedia. The nominator seems to be trying to prove a point. &mdash;innotata 06:27, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * That's not what MILUNIT says. A regiment is listed as one of the subjects that are "likely, but not certain, to be suitable for inclusion". Clarityfiend (talk) 07:03, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It talks about presumption earlier…anyway, there's ample coverage, and the only question is whether this should be merged. I don't think so, but I don't think an AfD is needed to discuss this, and I suggest this AfD be closed procedurally, since the nominator's intention was to disrupt. &mdash;innotata 19:09, 5 October 2014 (UTC)


 * That Sweden has not been in war for a long tine is no reason for deletion. User Innotatal is right about WP:POINT. For that reason keeping the article is the best option.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:06, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge and redirect. As long as there is a whole book about the history of the regiment (ref 1) it appears to be likely notable and expandable. At best, it should merged with Artillery Regiment (2000) (or even merging both articles somewhere else could be in order), but it is reasonable we have a Bergslagen Artillery Regiment entry (as a redirect to a section or as a separate article).

 * The connection between this regiment and the 2000 regiment is just the designation "A 9", and the 2000 regiment saw all the Swedish artillery regiments brought together. As both articles could easily be expanded, I'd prefer to see it remain separate. &mdash;innotata 16:30, 5 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. Battalion-sized or larger units are generally notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:54, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
