[edit] British 1st Division

• Is this a list of things named "British 1st XXX Division"?? Are any of these referred to as simply "British 1st Division"?? Delete if none of them are. Georgia guy 17:50, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Disambiguation page, no reason to dump it. Ruby 18:15, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Ruby. British 1st Division (World War I) is referred to only as the British 1st Division, so that alone probably necessitates disambiguation from the others. –Sommers ^(Talk) 18:22, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, disambig. Or move British 1st Division (World War I) here maybe. Kappa 19:26, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per ruby. has a few pages linking to it -- Astrokey44|talk 20:19, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Well, yes; 1 BR DIV - the current 1st Armoured - will be referred to as the 1st British or British 1st on most occasions, since there's no need to differentiate it from any other British 1st X Division. Historically, the 1st Infantry Division would have just been called the 1st Division in most contexts - indeed, it was officially the 1st Division for most of its existence, no "infantry". Entirely pointless AFD of a perfectly good disambiguation page, as far as I can see... Shimgray | talk | 23:11, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Useful disambiguation. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:30, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep disambig per Ruby. Essexmutant 11:35, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep — valid disambig. page. — RJH 17:51, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
