[edit] List of Military Brats

Unremarkable and unverifiable list. Recommend delete. Peter Grey 04:21, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Title is slang. List is going to be either, a) unmaintainable and a violation of WP:NOT Indiscriminate Info due to the fact that its criteria for inclusion are "Everyone who had a parent in the armed forces", or b) requiring an arbitrary notability cut-off for inclusion, which is bordering on original research. Add to that the fact that this information, while pertinent in any person's biography, forms a list that has no benefit or usefulness and that stand-alone lists should be discouraged at all costs, and there's no reason to keep this list in a merged or categorized format.

• Delete. LitEng said it quite well. -R. fiend 05:18, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Unmaintainable. There are potentially thousands of notable people who could be listed here. Kaibabsquirrel 05:20, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete The term Military Brat should be a dicdef. Hamster Sandwich 05:25, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, since some people who will be added to this list may not liked to be called a military brat. Though I am one myself, and the term is used a lot, I think the list should go. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 05:49, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete not encyclopedic. Klonimus 06:57, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - Irrelevant, unmaintainable - it would have to include potentially thousands of people - including all the historical ones from the time somebody created the first standing army. Not a small amount of historical people include children of soldiers - although sometimes it is mentioned only in context of their (usually) father dying in battle. Not to mention potential rows of what constitutes proper "military" - Skysmith 10:56, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Crush with Drill Sergeant for all the excellent reasons above. :) Garrett^Talk 11:15, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per above. This list isn't even in alphabetical order. Flowerparty ^talk 11:31, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I am one and not notable. Why should those uppercrust notable REMFs get a list?  :) Wikibofh 23:15, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn unmaintainable list. JamesBurns 07:47, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
