Rathfelder, what do you think indicates that "he clearly was a military doctor"? --Paul_012 (talk) 20:43, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Weng was part of the Communists' medical unit that cured wounded comrades." Rathfelder (talk) 20:45, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think it hardly counts; he hadn't even graduated medical school at the time. The majority of and WP:DEFINING part of his medical career was in a wholly civilian capacity. --Paul_012 (talk) 20:51, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Category:Military physicians is quite obviously intended to cover formal military personnel, not guerrilla groups like the former Communist Party of Thailand. Party members are already categorised as such, and there's no need to also categorise them as military, which would be misleading at best. --Paul_012 (talk) 21:09, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
