I'm frankly not seeing how this is a useful list - the difference between the CS Regular Army and CS Provisional Army is really just an academic point, to the extent that we don't have separate articles for the those forces, and the CS Regular army wasn't an actual serving formation as the plans for it feel through, and it wound up just really helping provide some seniority stuff. The scope of the list excludes general officers, who are listed at List of American Civil War generals (Confederate), and I don't believe it's standard practice to create lists for lower-ranking officers of a specific army.

Delete Feels like a marginal list in search of a use. Agree with nom this isn't useful. Intothat darkness 23:35, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - it's a list of five notable guys, all ranked colonel or lower. Does not appear to serve any useful purpose. - wolf 01:48, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, pointless list. Mztourist (talk) 07:17, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nom. ...GELongstreet (talk) 14:09, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete List is a mishmash of a variety of officers and not much else. Nomination has this one pegged.TH1980 (talk) 03:20, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- This is largely covering officers of ranks that are not per se notable. Categories do the job better. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:26, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The page lacks notability as per GNG. Foodie Soul (talk) 08:11, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
