[edit]

The criteria for this list and the corresponding category (Category:Swedish military commanders) are not well-defined from the start by User:Mic who created it, but it is quite clear that the intention has been to include field marshals and generals who commanded entire armies. A few minor and non-notable Swedish military officers have recently been added to the list: Joachim Von Rohr (whose name should correctly be written with a lowercase v: von Rohr), Hans Christoffer Von Rohr (likewise) and Anders Örbom. Including these on the list makes it all-inclusive and meaningless. Commanding a minor fortress like Dalarö skans, as Joachim von Rohr supposedly did, does not make him the equal in rank to Johan Banér or the various kings in the list. I don't really think Joachim Von Rohr and Anders Örbom are notable enough for Wikipedia articles in the first place (unless some additional indication of notability is given) and will remove these and the red link Hans Christoffer Von Rohr from the list. / up land 10:40, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
