Basically a research paper/treaste with lots of POV and no real footnotes. Instead it has a list of sources. Everything salvagable is covered in Eastern Front (World War II), History_of_the_Soviet_Union_(1927–1953) and other places. User:Woohookitty Diamming fool! 09:13, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Uncited essay. It would be possible to write a very good article on this topic, but this is approaching it from totally the wrong direction and has nothing which can be used in an encyclopedic article. Nick-D (talk) 10:59, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I agree with Nick-D that it would be possible to write a very good article, but it would be called Soviet armed forces in the second world war, so it isn't appropriate to retain this as a stub. It's arguable that this could be kept as a redirect to Soviet armed forces, but I don't think it's a likely enough search term for that.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  11:05, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think we need to keep this as a redirect. People are highly unlikely to type the whole term in the search box, enough to get an exact match.  Cazort (talk) 14:33, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I disagree: due to the new auto-complete feature in the search box, if you typed in "Russian military", the rest of the phrase would appear. So a redirect would be a useful -- & enticing -- thing. -- llywrch (talk) 21:47, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete as original research essay that can better be summarised in other places. - Biruitorul Talk 14:59, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
