This unit failed to complete formation, lacks significant coverage in reliable sources and is therefore not notable per the GNG. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:44, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, orphan, it's not even referred to by that name elsewhere in Wikipedia. Initially I thought it might be a placeholder, or could be redirected to some list of 'infantry regiments', but no, not referred to at all. Merge into List of Kentucky Union Civil War units (where it doesn't need a bluelink at all). Normal Op (talk) 02:26, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The unit appears in List_of_Kentucky_Union_Civil_War_units#Infantry Andrew🐉(talk) 11:15, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure enough does... with a different text string so it wasn't found on basic search. Changing my !vote from delete to merge. Normal Op (talk) 16:06, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Surely you mean redirect? There is nothing to merge, the list has a bare mention of the name of the unit. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:37, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Same answer as for the 31st. There are two citations in this stub-article that are not in the target article. Therefore MERGE, not simply redirect. Normal Op (talk) 22:47, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've copied the sources and citations across. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:16, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And attributed them. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:47, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I've written a number of unit histories from this conflict. A lot of units just never completed organization. These fail WP:MILUNIT and almost always GNG. Frequently the designation was reused, but apparently not here. Hog Farm (talk) 03:49, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into List_of_Kentucky_Union_Civil_War_units#Infantry per WP:ATD-M and WP:PRESERVE. When you have a numerical sequence like this, it's just asking for trouble to leave a red link. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:15, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect thanks to Peacemaker67's work, here and at 31st Kentucky Infantry Regiment. --Lockley (talk) 23:26, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
