The list is patent nonsense, does not define inclusion criteria, some people on the list are not peacetime vets in any way, shape, or form L0b0t 19:54, 12 February 2007 (UTC)


 * DELETE, per my nomination. Prince Andrew?  He is a combat veteran for cryin' out loud, he flew a helicopter around as a decoy target for Argie Exocet missiles in the Falklands War. We already have a List of military veterans, this is just silly.  L0b0t 19:54, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as completely nonsensical, and already covered by other lists. 23skidoo 20:02, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Appears to be a (very poorly researched) list of ex servicemen who never saw action. An indiscriminate and potentially endless list, most nations still have some form of conscription. Nuttah68 20:57, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Contains significant original research, some inaccurate. Unnecessary as there are other, better lists. -- Charlene 20:58, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:OR and decidedly arbitrary. Guy (Help!) 23:03, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Was expecting a list of famous people with notable peace-time military service. Instead find entries for Du Bois (with a note that he failed his physical) and Rickover (in service during WW2 but may not have "seen combat"). With that range of inclusion, the list is indiscriminate and very ill-defined. Gimmetrow 20:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I must also point again to what triggered this nom. (and my ire at the list); Prince Andrew, who most certainly did see combat, even helping to evacuate sailors from HMS Sheffield after she was hit by an Exocet. Cheers. L0b0t 21:41, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
