Move?

Shouldn't this page be at Objektschutzkräfte?

Renaming?

This article is a mess! It is called Objektschutzbataillon but it mainly deals with the newly established regiment. I suggest we create a new article "Objektschutzregiment" in line with the corresponding Wiki sites on the RAF Regt and others, which could use the majority of this very article. Then we relink "Objektschutzbataillon" there.

Considering the naming conventions it should rather be "German Air Force Regiment" De728631 16:31, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since nobody has objected, I will now rename this article to "German Air Force Regiment" De728631 15:36, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm against that. There is more than one Regiment in the Air Force. The second is f.x. the Luftwaffenausbildungsregiment, the Air Force Training Regiment.--Beliar (talk) 16:57, 14 June 2010 (UTC) According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Germanairforce_luftwaffe_2008.png it should be moved to German Air Force Protection Regiment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beliar (talk • contribs) 17:36, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A Google search comes up with 7000+ hits for "German Air Force Regiment" and the term "air force regiment" is in fact often used for force protection units of various nations. Per Wikipedia's naming convention we are required to use the most common English term for a page name, which is not always the most logical one. So if other articles on other Luftwaffe regiments are created then those can have an adequate title like "... training regiment" if there is no standard English translation.
