[edit] Name change to "British Battalion"

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)

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)

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).
