Three-sentence stub dicdef, no hope of expansion. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 21:59, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Keep. This was created after a discussion at Talk:Military_brat_(U.S._subculture)/Archive_6. Military brat previously redirected to Military brat (U.S. subculture), prompting repeated proposals that the US article (a featured article) be changed to not be US-centric. After that discussion, I changed Military brat from a redirect to a stub. The term is used in many countries, and it is likely that more information can be found (to at least turn it into a bigger stub).

Keep please see extensive discussions on the name of Talk:Military brat (U.S. subculture) and the need for at least a stub at Military brat.--- Balloonman  NO!

 * Posting note on the Talk:Military brat (U.S. subculture) as the page in question was derived from a discussion there.--- Balloonman  NO! I'm Spartacus! 23:02, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Keep per explanations above and urge withdrawal of nom. Newyorkbrad (talk) 23:19, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Can we at least add something to it, and prove that it should be more than a dicdef? I'm not convinced. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 03:57, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: I have this horrible feeling that the article was seen by international editors as too US-centric, got forked into a stub and a US article, and the stub is now in danger of being deleted. WP:TIND:  Mark it as a stub and leave it be until editors from non-US locations are able and willing to flesh it out with an international scope.  - BalthCat (talk) 07:51, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Neutral I feel the article on the US subculture should probobly become the Military brat article minus US centric parts which should be left in the subculture article. .--TParis00ap (talk) 04:52, 14 November 2009 (UTC) Keep The US subculture article is completely US centric--TParis00ap (talk) 13:46, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Please review the extensive discussions on that subject.--- Balloonman  NO! I'm Spartacus! 07:34, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with Military brat (U.S. subculture) This could be a section of that article, more eyes on the article, means better article. Ikip (talk) 09:35, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep i see there has been an intensive, good faith effort to start a structure for the military brat idea, with this as the keystone for other articles on the idea in other cultures. while i see some flaws in this current article, and i may disagree with some aspects of how this structure is being planned, i dont see any sign that this is inherently nonencyclopedic. if i want to improve this and the subarticle, i will stick around, but it seems this issue has been settled adequately. hard work all around, obviously.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:26, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, per the discussion at Talk:Military_brat_(U.S._subculture)/Archive_6; the term and lifestyle is notable beyond a mere definition or just the U.S. subculture.   Dreadstar  ☥  01:31, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Karanac's comprehensive explanation. Being a stub doesn't mean it's not an acceptable article. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 15:18, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
