Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of military commanders (2nd nomination)
There have been more 'keep' votes since the new lede came in, but I would like to point out thatThis is a list of military commanders. These include the "great captains" of history, as they were styled by military historian Liddell Hart; the major leaders of the armies in the most decisive battles of world history. Also included are those who were notoriously flamboyant, incompetent or otherwise famous, such as General Custer.means we're still including the (a) inarguably great, the (b) 'major' leaders at the 'most decisive' battles (whatever our editors decide those are), and the (c) everyone else with a page.This is not really an improvement, nor can it be improved with such a weak title and such vague adjectives involved. Any attempts to maintain a shallow list without much more narrowly-tailored wording is going to run into  issues. What this article covers really is as broad as a major metacategory & what it started as and some editors above think they can have really needs to be rebuilt from scratch at another namespace like famed military tacticians (with the criterion that they be currently studied at major military academies or even at all major military academies).&nbsp;—&nbsp
