Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of political leaders who held active military ranks in office
Few of these leaders achieved notability due to their military service and this service was not always a major reason behind their success in achieving power. As such, it is not in line with #DIR which states that "there is nothing wrong with having lists if their entries are famous ''because'' they are associated with or significantly contributed to the list topic" emphasis in original. List of Coup d'état leaders and/or List of military government leaders would be a more meaningful classification and would include everyone who's notable for the combination of their military service and leadership on this list
