"Commanders and leaders"

@Terisius: You have been adding the field officers of TPNPB ranging from... 1960? Like 80-90% of them have no article, and a large number seems to be just exiled activists (e.g. Jacob Rumbiak and Herman Wainggai) or folks whose title seem to be not top leadership (e.g. Mako Tabuni). This would be the equivalent of adding Indonesian diplomats/foreign ministers to the article - absurd.

On the military leaders, I understand that the movement is a little split and decentralized on the leadership. The list currently names basically every movement commander who has ever held a Kodap title (e.g. Yotam Bugiangge, Abubakar Tabuni) which means roughly a hundred or so militants/troops. It would be absurd to list every Kodam commander Indonesia has ever posted in the area, and they command a significantly larger number of troops.

I have no qualms about the -very top- leadership (e.g. Goliath Tabuni, mentioned by IPAC as "titular commander" of TPNPB; or Benny Wenda, generally face of the movement); but folks like Sebby Sambom (spokesperson) is just going to make the article unreadable.
