Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of main battle tanks by generation
This nomination appears to a |point nomination made after an increasingly fractious but fruitless content dispute with very few editors actually involved. Quite simply, I refuse to believe the side taken by the nominator in that discussion and now here that there are no reliable sources from which comparative classing and listing of MBT's is possible. If these contradict each other, as they would because it is always going to involve subjective assesment of what's important in a tank, it can be documented in the article. A list of MBTs by comparison of features, even if the only agreed measure of comparison comes down to simple factors such as first build date, range, gross weight or speed, is eminently worthy of creation, as a usefull fork of Tank classification, which itself needs improvement. Afd is not a step in dispute resolution, and it seems the parties are too heavily 'engaged' to Thinking outside the box|think outside the box in the dispute to achieve agreement
