List of Swedes who died in the Spanish Civil War

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-encyclopedic/non-notability. Information about every person who died in a particular war is hardly relevant for an encyclopedia. We don't have "List of Germans who died in World War II" etc. for the same reason. Slarre (talk) 09:07, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Honour rolls and the like are generally deleted as being unencyclopedic, and this seems to be no exception. --Nick Dowling (talk) 09:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per not an obituary/listing of everyone who died during a certain conflict. Corpx (talk) 10:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Indiscriminate list of mostly non-notable people.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 12:47, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment While I think "Wikipedia is not a memorial" gets overused (so does "non-notable people", for that matter), this is one of those cases where the bar on memorials definitely applies. No objections to an article about Swedes and other international brigades in the Spanish Civil War, but it's hard to describe this as anything other than a memorial.  Mandsford (talk) 22:10, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I actually agree. Encyclopedic coverage of Swedes participating in the Spanish Civil War should be possible and encyclopedic (I presume it's been done already), but this list remains unnecessary.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 03:25, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Well, it feels like I'm taking a piss on their memory here by voting delete, but I'm voting per nom, so bear with me. &mdash; EliasAlucard (Discussion · contribs) 07:02, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
