"Primary Mechs" from Liao Housebook

I am a bit unhappy with Dmon's latest edit, when he deleted the following part from the article:

An overview from the House Liao Housebook suggests the following "primary 'Mechs" among the individual regiments around 3025; it should, however, be regarded as just a very broad estimate, and may just refer to single notable 'Mechs or pilots within the given regiment:

which was followed by the regiments and their alleged "primary" 'Mechs; this part is now found under "Units of the McCarron's Armored Cavalry". I have two distinct problems with this:
1) I feel the deleted information is important as-is, including the disclaimer, and should thus be included in the article; 2) I feel it is nonsensical to create articles for the individual regiments given that the MAC is one rather coherent merc unit; all regimental information belongs into this one article about the "brigade" imho, and should not be split over several smaller articles. This latter point is a problem that I have with many brigade formations that received a similar treatment, i.e. articles broken down into single regiments for no apparent reason.

The breakdown of larger units into regimental sized pages might be a response to comments made on the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns page, where there were so many images that the page took too long to download. One suggestion I made was to put the brigade sized forces (Brigade of Guards, Avalon Hussars, etc.) into their own pages because there was too much detail in the main article.

I don't know that this is what Dmon was doing, but it's possible.--Mbear 19:53, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
