Extraneous cross-categorization list, no sources covering the topic as a whole to establish notability. Members of every Congress have a variety of backgrounds but it's unclear why members of this Congress with this prior experience need a list (the more significant experience that immediately preceded election is at Members of the 110th United States Congress). Deprod referenced Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_December_29#Category:Members_of_the_110th_United_States_Congress_who_have_served_in_the_United_States_Military, which occurred shortly after these members were elected.

Delete - WP:NOTDB this is a one-of-a-kind list of the 110th Congress (2007-2009). It was created by an unapproved short-lived DomBot that only operated for 6 months. — Maile (talk) 11:37, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom; this isn't the sort of list that's useful to keep around. Agree that relevant background including military service belongs at Members of the 110th United States Congress. Elli (talk | contribs) 14:07, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Agree with the nom rationale. WP:INDISCRIMINATE certainly applies here User:Let'srun 21:10, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTDB, also WP:FORK, and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Conyo14 (talk) 21:24, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as above and fails WP:NLIST - where is the specific notability of this class? Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 00:17, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all of the above. I'd probably pick WP:CROSSCAT as the strongest, but most of the rest of WP:NLIST works, too. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 17:55, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The information presented in this article would be better managed with categories. An editor or administrator should create an umbrella category of people who have served in the United States Military. As far as I can tell that category doesn't exist.--Kerbyki (talk) 18:05, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are numerous categories along those lines: Category:American military personnel by century — Maile (talk) 18:17, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
