Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Militia and Yeomanry of the British Empire
on many grounds: (A) The subject of the contested article is "militia and yeomanry," specifically in Great Britain. Yet nowhere do we learn anything about militia and yeomanry in Britain, e.g. the social context, the historical development, etc. (B) This is a |list and nothing more than a list. As a list, it lacks |encyclopaedic interest, though it could fit as a trimmed, Wikipedia:Glossary#H|hatted section into an article that ''would'' actually be about militia and yeomanry in Britain. (C) There are no significant references supporting the subject's independent notability. The term "amateur soldier" denotes something different than "yeoman" and "yeomanry;" a yeoman is a member of social class historically. Sources about, generally, amateur soldiers are not directly relevant. (D) Although, as we know, |deletion is no replacement for improvement, in this case the only and most merciful way forward is to -I|send the text back to '''draft''' land and await whatever improvements can be made to it,  starting perhaps with its title, before it's acceptable as a Wikipedia article
