3rd Para-Commando Battalion

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There are 2 references in this article but both make no mention of the 3rd Para commando battalion and talk about 1 Para battalion which already has an article here 1st Para-Commando Battalion. There are no news media reports or any book mention which verify the existence of this battalion. I might have missed out Bengali based sources here but having no English media coverage is surprising. At best, we can merge this into Para-Commando Brigade which itself makes mention of only 2 and not 3 Battalions. Adamgerber80 (talk) 06:00, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete - Looks like a clear copyvio to me.--Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 16:24, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Georgia Army Vet: At the bottom of the page you linked it says "This article uses material from the Wikipedia page ...", so it looks like we had it first and they copied it from us. What would you think of merging instead? --Worldbruce (talk) 05:22, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Para-Commando Brigade (Bangladesh Army). There is no need for separate 1st Para-Commando Battalion, 2nd Commando Battalion (Bangladesh), 3rd Para-Commando Battalion. The parent article should mention battalions basing, formation, and actions when appropriate.Icewhiz (talk) 09:16, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to brigade per the other battalion article, if and when it is involved in fighting/operations on its own, then break out an article. Just doesn't have enough now, unless there are substantial Bengali sources. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:02, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
