Weak keep - poorly sourced but we normally have article about military ranks.

Keep. My preference would be to merge, but there are enough articles on military ranks around the world to justify this one. --

Merge to lieutenant colonel or Hellenic Army. This article has zero sources, and we don't have evidence that the topic is materially distinct from the English translation (so Greek sources discussing it won't be helpful unless they actually address the difference from a lieutenant colonel in English).

Redirect to
Lieutenant colonel (see below): The namesake on Greek Wikipedia is linked with
lieutenant colonel, so the real question is if this "term" merits a standalone article. The article is and has been unsourced for more than 14 years, so there is nothing to merge. I've looked for some sources, but most are glossaries or other kinds of sources with very superficial coverage (
WP:NOTDICTIONARY). A merger should be relevant, when some editor finds
WP:RS "now". If so, please ping me.

Merge to
Syntagmatarchis. Sorry to muddy the waters here with a new merge target, but I noticed that other Hellenic Army ranks redirect to a Modern Use section like
Strategos#Modern use. Obviously there's no ancient version of lieutenant colonel, but there is
Syntagmatarchis (colonel). --

Redirect to
Syntagmatarchis: I believe any unsourced content should not be merged, but in order to help form consensus, I don't mind changing the redirect target.
