Speedy deletion nomination of 1st PERSCOM

Hello Mmainguy,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged 1st PERSCOM for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Gbawden (talk) 12:42, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is a very bad idea to develop an article in mainspace. I have moved it to User:Mmainguy/sandbox. I saw your comment "I think it would be good to have a location for folks to look up historical units". Yes of course there should be one. Indeed I am surprised if it does not exist already. I suggest you look for it and make it more visible by links and redirects. If it really does not exist, for symmetry with Category:Former United States Army facilities, It should be called List of former United States Army units paired with Category:Former United States Army units. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:14, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
