List of Hindu soldiers

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This makes no sense. The list has mythological characters who have been in some mythological wars and then lists other kings and nobles who have had been in war and were Hindu and then goes to list down majors/generals and other officials of post independent India. The list in no way states why the religious affiliation of these people had anything to do with their warrior skills or such. Nor is this list in anyway conveying that they fought for Hinduism or such. This seems like an intersection of random two things. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 07:17, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Per nom: this is a list of semi-random people, and its scope if taken seriously would be totally unmanageable. Nick-D (talk) 09:40, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete--Per nom. A list of semi-random people whose profession has no/little connection with the religion. Article has simply unimaginable ambit and scope. The article lists at first Hindu mythological soldiers,then Hindu medieval rulers and finally soldiers who fought for the British Raj and the Indian army.A hell of an article!

 * Delete, very subjective and a "list of semi-random people" as stated with the connection and meaning of their listings and not others being unclear at best. Uncited, as well. Kierzek (talk) 22:44, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. There have been millions of Hindi soldiers. Pointless list. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:58, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Neutral - there are a few articles in Category:Lists of soldiers that have similar issues. I could understand articles by nationality better than by religion/culture. In this articles case, it would mean splitting into a number of articles, something like List of Indian soldiers, List of Indian solders during the British Raj, List of soldiers in Hindu mythology, etc. I'm not sure what is to be done about the ancient and middle age period, perhaps List of Indian soldiers from the middle ages and List of Indian soldiers from the ancient period.

 * We are better without any of those WP:LISTCRUFTs. §§Dharmadhyaksha</i>§§ {Talk / Edits} 03:42, 7 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - the list assumes that the religion and the profession are somehow connected when there is no evidence to suggest this Spiderone  19:38, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
