Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/3rd Rhode Island Heavy Artillery
from a fairly brief interweb search I found a few books (Cox, Dyer, and Grandchamp) that include quite a bit of coverage (multiple pages in each), whilst the regiment also seems to receive some passing mention in many more https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=third+rhode+island+heavy+artillery#q=third+rhode+island+heavy+artillery&tbm=bks&start=10https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=third+rhode+island+heavy+artillery#tbm=bks&q=3rd+rhode+island+heavy+artillery (9,000 + hits in Google books). There also seems to be quite a few websites of varying quality. Whilst I agree that the article has numerous issues I'm not sure  is the way to go. I admit to having little knowledge of researching American Civil War units but I did uncover some promising sources so I'd imagine a specialist would be able to find many others. This leads me to believe that the assumption of the general notability of units of this size in  is a reasonable one and that there is likely to be significant coverage per the requirements of . I'd suggest merging all the subunit articles into the regimental article as this should easily allow a fairly decent article to be written to cover the activities of them all (whilst individual sub-unit articles would probably be difficult to sustain). I've now made some changes to the article in an attempt to clean it up a bit and add what referenced information I found that seemed relevant. In doing so I removed a chunk of unreferenced material but of cse would be quite happy for it to be worked back in by other editors if they are able to provide the appropriate references
