Conscription in the European Union

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The article is redundant, because the information is covered under military service, and it's nonsensical, because conscription is a purely national competence. Sure, we could have articles on conscription in all sorts of supranational blocs (NATO, ASEAN, OAS, AU, etc.), but really, why should we? Biruitorul (talk) 05:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. A case could be made for this on the basis of steps toward an EU military with the RRF but it's really a step removed from that and there's no clear relevance. --Dhartung | Talk 05:37, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Already covered by other articles. The article conscription already has a list titled "Countries with and without mandatory military service" within it.  We don't need two lists coverint the same topic.  --Jayron32| talk | contribs  06:15, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Military Service. The information is contained there, and someone may look up the subject. And while we're at it, Conscription and Military Service should be sorted out better. --Arcanios (talk) 09:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to military service per argument that this national policy has nothing to do with supranational organization. Article is only needed if a common EU defense ever has a common policy. Joshdboz (talk) 11:59, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep because the transformations in the European Union member states' policies, is an important subject for further examination. The EU is not "just another supranational bloc" (read the relevant treaties). Many member states abolished conscription on the basis that it is not needed, since the Union promotes tighter integration between them and a more secure environment. In fact, I believe that every key sector of a "typical" national state, should be projected upon the relevant transformations of the EU. I would also like to add that eurosceptic users may have their own personal political views about what "makes sense" and what not, but this is Wikipedia and many people find these information useful if they are listed as separate and not bloated articles, with long lists and/or tables. -- Tim —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.75.208.75 (talk) 17:15, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, do not redirect. Redundant, the text provides too little of information for the purpose suggested by 85.75.208.75 above. Individual articles on military service per country would be useful, though. Pavel Vozenilek (talk) 11:42, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's just a list of wikilinks, no text. KleenupKrew (talk) 00:31, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
