Trimming metadata

Greetings

I saw you moved Deleted:302nd Military Intelligence Battalion to 302nd Military Intelligence Battalion (United States).

When I first started participating here I was told there weren't as many rules as the wikipedia, but one request was to refrain from moving articles deleted from the wikipedia to article space here, until after any metadata only supported on the wikipedia was trimmed.

I did that for that article. Geo Swan (talk) 09:14, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Can I just import the required templates from Wikipedia instead of removing those that didn't exist? LuisAnton (talk • contribs) 12:31, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

disambiguation

There are different approaches to disambiguation. Many people think adding disambiguators to article names can be postponed until it is necessary. Others think it should be put in the name, right at the beginning, when it is likely to be necessary some day.

In this particular case it is unlikely to be necessary. Other nation's armies have battalions. But they have different naming conventions. Even if one had a 302nd battalion, it might be an armoured battalion, or an artillery battalion, or whatever. And, even if other nations had one, would it merit an article?

The article above was imported from Wikipedia, so its name was from WP too. Also, the original name is Deleted:302nd Military Intelligence Battalion (United States), not "Deleted:302nd Military Intelligence Battalion". LuisAnton (talk • contribs) 12:31, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Leaving a redirect

You didn't leave one. That made it more work to find where you put the article. Is there a reason you didn't leave a redirect? Geo Swan (talk) 09:23, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

A redirect from and to what? From Deleted:302nd Military Intelligence Battalion to 302nd Military Intelligence Battalion (United States)? The original name of the article before the move was Deleted:302nd Military Intelligence Battalion (United States), not the article name/hyperlink you put above, as I said in my above reply.
