This discussion was subject to a deletion review on 2010 August 20. For an explanation of the process, see Wikipedia:Deletion review. |
The result was delete. Overall, the deletion arguments based on a lack of independent coverage were stronger. Arguments for keeping included WP:USEFUL and WP:POTENTIAL. While it is true that it's better to fix an article rather than delete it, it has to fulfill the notability criteria first, which it fails to do. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:41, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In accordance with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/436th Transportation Battalion (United States), non-combat service support units of battalion size or smaller have to have their notability clearly established. The information given in this unit's entry - purely barebones lineage and honours - is not sufficient to justify notability for a support unit at this level. Relevant material is available at Red Ball Express, and other articles such as 1st Sustainment Command (Theater) which detail overall support force contributions in U.S. Army campaigns. This article itself however does not justify the unit's notability. Buckshot06 (talk) 10:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC) (categories)[reply]

I believe it does lower the notability of the award. So unless there is something else the 14th Transportation Battalion (United States) is noted for I am leaning towards Delete --Jim Sweeney (talk) 12:11, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
