Military Law Literature in India

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Just a bibliography of works on a topic without any context at all. Seems like a clear fail of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. MezzoMezzo (talk) 10:40, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

 * I don't think that WP:INDISCRIMINATE is relevant. This article is a bibliography of Indian military law. It is not a random list of random items. NOTDIRECTORY is a more likely candidate. The real question is whether publications on Indian military law satisfy WP:NOTESAL. Are they notable as a group? Are there, for example, professionally prepared bibliographies etc. covering that subject? I imagine that they are notable. Even if they are not, we do have a Bibliography of law, and this list could be merged into that or treated as a daughter article, provided sources can be found to justify the selection.

 * Two selective bibliographies on this subject (though they may be different editions of the same book):. James500 (talk) 14:41, 5 August 2013 (UTC) There are also bibliographies on Indian law generally and international bibliographies which presumably cover India. It may be that these works are organised in a way that identifies works relating to the military law of that country. James500 (talk) 18:23, 5 August 2013 (UTC) Also, this Wikipedia article professes to be "based chiefly on an article by Major General Nilendra Kumar, former Judge Advocate General, Indian Army". If that article could be identified it would presumably be a reliable source. James500 (talk) 22:49, 5 August 2013 (UTC) As to him, see James500 (talk) 16:14, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
