• delete and all the other milspecs need to be examined, as none that I've checked contain any claim to notability. Mangoe (talk) 22:19, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

  Comment: milspecs may be something better summarized in a list article as opposed to independent stubs. Entries have to be reliably sourced but there’s no requirement they be notable.

  P.S., whatever happened to just adding sand to paint when painting a boat’s topside deck? Surely the Navy doesn’t need a milspec for sand and paint?
