Third Battalion
Rather whimsical article about a de facto fanclub for British Sea Power (a pop group). What do they do? They wear uniforms and go to a nearby pub. All jolly good sixth-form fun, I'm sure, but of such stunning importance that Google has only 43 hits for "third battalion" and "british sea power". This really is feeble by the standards of British Sea Power fandom, considering that Google has about 101,000 for guitar and "british sea power". If this article were named, say, "Third Battalion of British Sea Power", I'd suggest merging with British Sea Power, but I can easily imagine that there is, or could later be, a BSP-unrelated, encyclopedic "third battalion", and creation of an article on that would then require disambiguation, etc. So I'll say that although the existence of the BSP "third battalion" is verifiable, it's significance is peculiarly low, akin to that of the many gaming forums and the like about which articles are routinely created but promptly VfDd and deleted. -- Hoary 02:41, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)


 * Delete - Sounds like it's very interesting to those who participte, but it's not encyclopedic. --FCYTravis 03:39, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Fair enough, i'll put it on the actual BSP page then. --Ebz 09:27, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
