List of military brats

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The concept of a "Military brat" has some meaning, however the distinction between a "military brat" and someone who happened to grow up in a military family is subjective.
 * If there are a group of people who either identify as a military brat, or have this supported by reliable sources then the list makes some sense, however I have looked at a couple of handfuls of the articles in the list and I can't find reason to place any of them in this group.
 * If the list is just of people who grew up in a military family, then I can't see the relevance of the list. The military family background is not a notable feature of many of these peoples' lives. Pi (Talk to me!)  23:58, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete subjective and possibly endless list. Mztourist (talk) 03:07, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. The list defines it as the offspring of military personnel, but that violates WP:LISTCRITERIA: your parents' occupations (unless they're royalty) generally doesn't make a lot of difference. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:53, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Being a military brat does not make you notable, all these people are notable for completely different things. Vici Vidi (talk) 09:19, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. As mentioned above, this violates WP:LSC and is likely an endless and subjective list that adds no real value to the articles it lists. I see no reason to keep it. Aguy777 (talk) 09:22, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete How long do you have to have had a parent in the military while a child? Does this have to have ever caused you to relocate, or does it count if you lived in a stable home and your parent was deployed? Lots of issues with the list. This list might be helpful if it told us how long the parent in question was in the military, how many bases the person lived at as a child, etc, but for most of these people we do not know those details.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:44, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom. Nick-D (talk) 00:37, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom. Fails WP:LISTCRITERIA in that removal of the participants from the list does nothing to reduce encyclopedic and topical relevance, and including them on the list does nothing to enhance it. --Jack Frost (talk) 01:47, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
