List of veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a seemingly random listing of people who happened to have served in either/or Afghanistan or Iraq, some of whom are world famous and some of whom are obscure. As such, I believe that it should be deleted as it is an indiscriminate collection of information and a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization. Appropriate categories already seem to exist for people who served in these wars, so this kind of list serves little purpose and will never be complete. Nick Dowling (talk) 07:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as per above. Not as indiscriminate as List of Korean Conflict Bronze Star recipients, but served by categories already --Nobunaga24 (talk) 07:54, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Excessive. Carom (talk) 12:40, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - A list that is pretty much impossible to make complete in any way and even harder to satisfy WP:V --Pmedema (talk) 16:21, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as per above; also WP isn't a memorial of service. Buckshot06 (talk) 01:22, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
