VC C23 Company[edit]

This 30-man Viet Cong unit is unreferenced and doesn't seem to have accomplished anything particularly notable. I see one passing mention in this book. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:10, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages for essentially the same reasons:

According to its article, VC C41 fought in the Battle of Binh Ba, but is not mentioned there.

Delete. Company is well below the threshold in WP:MILUNIT. Unless there is significant sourcing on these companies (which does not seem to be the case), they should not have a stand-alone entry - the parent formation might merit inclusion.Icewhiz (talk) 06:53, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete very few companies would justify an article, with the obvious exception of Easy Company from Band of Brothers. Generally, battalions yes, companies no. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:23, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Companies only with significant importance or that played a major role in some war are acceptable to have an article. Also this article hardly has any references to establish the subject's notability, fails WP:GNG. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 03:20, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Subjects fails MILUNIT and GNG. I see no sense in keeping standalone articles for these units. Chris Troutman (talk) 09:17, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The Australian official history of the Australian Army's role in South Vietnam has lots of material on the Viet Cong local forces in Phuoc Tuy Province, and other works have also covered them (including, from memory, a Vietnamese official history - though it may not be a RS), so an article on the topic would be highly viable. I agree though that the individual companies are unlikely to be notable. Nick-D (talk) 09:41, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I wonder if there is a parent article that the information on the VC companies could be merged to. Individually, I agree they probably don't warrant stand alone articles, but the overarching topic is notable, IMO. I found this article: Viet Cong and PAVN strategy, organization and structure, but it wouldn't seem an appropriate merge target. I wonder about List of Viet Cong Local Force companies ... thoughts?

Delete fails WP:MILUNIT and fails WP:GNG. Created seven years ago and still remain without even single unreliable source –Ammarpad (talk) 15:01, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
