List of United States Presidents by middle name

Delete as hopeless trivia. Tagged earlier for importance but it's so clearly unimportant why wait? Otto4711 22:49, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (as for first name) why not? There are also list by middle name, surname, nickname and much more. Why not this? I think that can be useful to somebody, and American Presidents are an important subject, so I think that a list like this deserve his place in wikipedia. At least, it can be merged with the other lists, if you think it doesn't deserve a whole article. But I think that I would create caos. by Snowolf (talk) on 22:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

American Presidents are important subjects, but that doesn't mean that every single aspect of everything related to American Presidents is notable. Otto4711 23:04, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Excellent example of indiscriminate, trivial, and what Wikipedia is not. Agent 86 01:47, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. However, it is not a collection of trivia. Picaroon 02:58, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There's no point in this list at all. Any basic presidents list on Wikipedia has this information already. 23skidoo 06:18, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure that's the reason you think this should be deleted, and/or that you clicked the right afd? Presidents certainly are notable; they just don't need these lists about them. No amount of notability can affect that. Picaroon 03:11, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Picaroon, right of course presidents notable lists on their middle name, not so notableForrestLane42 04:15, 19 January 2007 (UTC)ForrestLane42[reply]

Delete as indiscriminate. Ohconfucius 10:20, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merged with List of United States Presidential nicknames. The nickname section was not effected, but I did some minor changes to the other names lists, stuff that went beyond trivia. I didn't redirect this article to the nickname page yet, because I wanted to find out what others thought of this first. Jjmillerhistorian 17:27, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete, I can think of how a list by last name might be useful and encyclopedic, but not for first name and definitely not for middle name.
