993:, where there was opposition to even merging two units with the same name from the same war.) If the regiment truly existed from 1865 to 1898, there is currently no content about a unit with this name during the interwar period on WP, so it's hard to justify including the 1898 unit with the ACW unit on those grounds. In fact, the way the existing articles are written implies that there wasn't a unit with the same name during the interwar period. I guess my current view is that if versions of the unit with this name during the interwar period were notable, then a stub could be created, the dab page then resurrected at 422: 628: 513: 482: 616: 454: 523: 652: 438: 711: 202: 307: 997:), and then a merge could be reconsidered, though my guess is a merge would be met with some opposition or at least hesitation. Alternatively, I think it would be fine to add a sourced mention at either current article that units using the same name existed after the mustering out of the ACW volunteer unit and before the formation of the 1898 unit (if reliable sources can attest to this). 379: 368: 357: 701: 680: 265: 233: 346: 335: 961:
I probably should have made a better case for this at the time, but one issue I have with leaving out the 1898 article from the merge is the fact that these regiments existed continuously from the end of the Civil War through the Spanish-American War as militia or national guard regiments.

in 1886 was the 1st Wisconsin Infantry Regiment -- and there's no clear place for that linkage to live since neither the Civil War or Spanish War articles would cover the year 1886. I'm sure I could find other examples where these regiments were involved in notable guard activity in the inter-war

the disambiguation page currently there, and the 1898 article would remain separate. I agree the Spanish-American War-era unit should not be merged. The combined Civil War article would be the clear primary topic, as the 1898 regiment did not see any combat. A hatnote to the 1898 article would

I agree with the suggested merge but don't agree about adding the 1898 organization, the two units alike solely in name and state of origin. I suggest the disambiguator "(1861)" to mirror the 1898 usage.
1066: 1026: 1036: 1031: 1041: 989:, I see your point, but there certainly was consensus against merging in the 1898 article, because while sharing a name and a perceived lineage, the units were really different entities. (See 812:. The two Civil War unit articles will be merged and then moved to the base name as the primary topic; the 1898 unit will not be merged or moved and a hatnote will be used for disambiguation. 158: 55: 553: 962:
