Service summary of George S. Patton

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

"Military career of George S. Patton" is an article we need, but this is not that. This is a big list of all his bling. Half of this article is a timeline of his military career, and the other half is a ribbon bar and copy-pastes of the citations for his notable awards. This is unencyclopedic and a shadow of the article merited by Patton's career. Put succinctly, this is a shrine to Patton and it should thusly be deleted. – ♠Vamí _IV†♠  21:55, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete I feel like we have this already. A long list of bullet points, nothing needed here. Oaktree b (talk) 22:15, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete The ribbon rack is a feature Wikipedia has essentially done away with. A list of assignments and promotion dates belongs in a military career article, which is mostly what the current biography is. I don't see anything here worth saving because most of it is UNDUE. Perhaps future books on the subject will allow a clean break between military career and other personal life at which point these details could return.

 * Delete Not especially useful and devoid of context. Intothatdarkness 00:38, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete The article is a simple list that does not put Patton's tours of duty and awards in any context. TH1980 (talk) 03:59, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete essentially just a bullet-point summary of another article. Best, GPL93 (talk) 17:14, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Apparent POVFORK. Wareon (talk) 18:11, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - devoid of context, and severely lacking in citations compared to the sheer volume of text, this is just a classic WP:TNT. Bearian (talk) 14:32, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
