 * 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)
 * 1) 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. 19:15, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) What everyone else said. Christopher (talk) 19:34, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
