Little more than an international penis measuring contest. Original research in any case. Even if a source could be found for such a ridiculous list, what would that even mean? How do they know? Such lists should be based on objective criteria (# of active troops, etc.) not subjective garbage. Savidan 06:16, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete on grounds of POV, and not citing any sources. --Gavin Collins 12:21, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Interesting idea, but has no hope of ever being complete, encyclopedic, or verifiable. --Ashenai 06:17, 29 May 2007 (UTC) Redirect to List of countries by number of total troops, which is an objective, sourced, verifiable metric. --Ashenai 07:30, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't know what "military power" means, but boy howdy is it confused on this page. --06:42, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This article will be nearly impossible to maintain, and I'm sure there is a lot of hidden "military power" that governments may use and may not ever be revealed in published sources. I don't think that this list would be able to be maintained and it will be original research in attempting to determine who are the strongest military powers in ranked order. --Nehrams2020 06:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
