The good of war
The good of war was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was delete.


 * Listed here because it is an article that cannot fail to be POV (given the title). Any discussion of war's relative merits can go at war, it seems to me, or perhaps on certain pages relating to branches of ethics or the philosophy of war. Jwrosenzweig 08:40, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Roughly agree with Jwrosenzweig. Discussion of the (possible) benefits of war belongs in Wikipedia somewhere, but not in this form and certainly not at this title.  Isomorphic 08:44, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'. Gamaliel 08:45, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I was going to say that! Jeff Knaggs 10:31, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * My sentiments exactly. ;) Neutralitytalk 22:43, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not NPOVable. &mdash;Korath&#20250;&#35441; 09:23, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect to war. There is a section there called: "Costs and benefits of war". --Edcolins 09:28, Dec 26, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: Inherently POV. I'm not really agreed that anyone will search this, nor that we need to prevent recreation (a speedy upon recreation would be better, because this isn't just a mistake).  Geogre 16:11, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Already covered at the war article. Antandrus 16:15, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Inherently POV, particularly the title. Jayjg | Talk 23:19, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete Toss it out and don't look back (bad title in addition to POV, it should be The Merits of War) Gkhan 02:30, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Since when is bombing innocent people a "good?" Lockeownzj00 00:31, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Inherently POV. Iceberg3k 03:32, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. POV, but there is potential for a NPOV article on the ethics of war. (Does one already exist?) As it is, however, delete.
 * Delete. Nice idea, but it should be renamed and the article altered to reflect more NPOV, which wars were/are "good" is quite subjective --Jimius 14:30, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Covered more rationally at just war. Neutralitytalk 22:43, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
