Name change to "British Battalion"[edit]

Does anyone mind if this is moved to "British Battalion" (which is how it's referred to in the major literature)? These days Shapurji Saklatvala is unknown and it's a difficult name to spell.

British Battalion is currently a disambiguation page. New article would have to be British Battalion (something or another). Suggestions? --Davidbober 02:27, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that ... I see The disambig page only leads to here and to a short article on the "British Battalion (Malaya 1941). So let's be bold on this one ... Perhaps we could do without the disambig page altogether? Here's how it could work: (1) British Battalion disambig is renamed say "British Battalions Disambiguation Page" (or something quite different, and marked for deletion - to liberate up the name; (2) Saklavata becomes "British Battalion" with a one-line reference to British Battalion (Malaya 1941) just above the intro; (3) and vice versa in the British Battalion (Malaya 1941) page. If there are no objections, I'll do this later today Roger 06:27, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Having given this further thought, easiest seems to (1) turn this page into a REDIRECT to British Battalion and then (2) cut and paste the article from here into British Battalion, keeping a flag at the top of British Battalion referring to the British Battalion (1941).
