Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Royal Navy personnel in 1983
Per nom. This directory seems to be an excessively and unencylopedically detailed breakdown, unless our goal is to list a bunch of non-notable people.  If breaking it down by year, why not month or day, since someone might have retired partway through the year? This type of listing does not serve any purpose I can see, and seems to run afoul of |Wikipedia is not a directory
