Delete[edit]

  1. This page about a living person has been here for 11 years and has yet to include a citation. Bongolian (talk) 02:43, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
  2. A plain article about a military strategist's theory that neither supports or attacks it? why? We're not StrategyWiki. It looks like it was meant as an implicit criticism of our tactics in Iraq, but I don't see the point as our Iraq war article does the job much more effectively.

  3. The original author claims that it's based on some personal research they did. Normally I'd want to move this to a draft page, but I don't think it serves any purpose here. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 14:27, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
    Even personal research should include citations (minimally something like "I got this information from interviewing X on date Y"). Bongolian (talk) 17:02, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
    Ugh, that sounds too much like Andy Schafly citing a dinner conversation he had with a judge. Avida Dollarsher again 17:23, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
  4. What makes them missional exactly? Seems mostly like a fluff piece written on someone. Recommend deletion unless there is a missional reason to have an article on them. Techpriest (I am Alpharius! / Pencil.png / Tux icon.png / Shield.png) 19:15, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
  5. What everyone else said. Christopher (talk) 19:34, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
