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)
  • The updated proposal with "(India)" addresses my concern of genericity. -- 65.94.77.36 (talk) 05:11, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
• OpposeSupport - 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)

Contradictory

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