Williamson's Arkansas Infantry Battalion

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Came across this one while starting on some cleanup at Contributor copyright investigations/20190125. From my experience, many stand-alone ACW battalions (not component battalions of regiments) are likely notable, but this one only existed for 17 days before being dissolved and its component companies scattered to the four winds of the Confederate army. All three sources cited in the article are unreliable, and searching didn't bring up significant coverage in RS.

Furthermore, there is a decent amount of foundational copyvio in the article, so even if this can be kept, WP:TNT will be needed anyway to rid this of the copyright violations. Hog Farm Talk 04:21, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
