The result of the move request was: moved per amended request to 42nd Armoured Regiment (India) BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:22, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

42 Armoured Regiment (India) → ~~42nd Armoured Regiment~~ – 42nd Armoured Regiment (India)

The proper full names of Indian Army armoured regiments includes the grammar with the numbers, ie "nd" needs to be added after "42". Ref :Nath, Ashok (2009). "About the book (Section : Titles of the regiments". Izzat: historical records and iconography of Indian cavalry regiments, 1750-2007. Centre for Armed Forces Historical Research, United Service Institution of India. pp. iv. ISBN 978-81-902097-7-9.
~~In this case, no other country has a 42nd Armoured Regiment hence the suffix "(India)" is not necessary for disambiguation purposes.~~ Amended vide WP:MILMOS#UNITNAME per User:Peacemaker67

Comment other countries have a 42nd regiment which is armoured... so the requested title is quite generic. -- 65.94.77.36 (talk) 05:16, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The updated proposal with "(India)" addresses my concern of genericity. -- 65.94.77.36 (talk) 05:11, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~Support - It is standard practice per WP:MILMOS#UNITNAME for military units to be pre-emptively disambiguated to the country. This is no exception, and there is no reason for an exception. And it should be 42nd Armoured Regiment. Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 13:39, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Peacemaker67:, May please reconsider in light of amended request. AshLin (talk) 18:49, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Contradictory[edit]

How can this unit be raised in 1981, but exist prior to WWII? -- 65.94.77.36 (talk) 05:14, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Collecting refs. Will address after a few days. AshLin (talk) 18:53, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
