The list is an impossible one as it is overly subjective. Conflicts are described differently by different schools of thought or parties. It does further lack sources and inline citations. Lappspira (talk) 00:15, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

delete Vague criterion. World War I - a nationalist conflict? Duh. Staszek Lem (talk) 00:47, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete certainly as written. Depending on the definition of nationalism you use, practically every conflict in modern history would have at least an element of nationalism in it. Narrowing the definition would come uncomfortably close to OR for my liking. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 06:44, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It is just silly. Europe only had two nationalist conflicts? Has the author never heard of Napoleon? I see Ireland splitting is included, but what about Italian reunification? Really, it is impossible to define nationalism in this context. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.17.70.166 (talk) 14:43, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. If we accept the existence of such a list in Wikipedia, then that'd presume that the list of wars that were not "nationalistic" includes all the rest. Which would be utterly absurd. -The Gnome (talk) 18:28, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the above. Keeping this list article wouldn't make much sense. It would include nearly (if not all) wars in the history of man kind. That is better suited for a category than a standalone article. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 04:19, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
