The result was no consensus. No clear consensus right now. I recommend following Noleander's rename suggestion and see if the article about the organization sticks. The list of BLPs may be deleted if not sourced inline. Sandstein 16:30, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTDIR. I see far more redlinks than blue, and no sources. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 20:53, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

delete seems to be indicated based on WP:Org#No_inherited_notability. Alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 21:10, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Honestly, what's this crusade against redlinks? It is misguided -- they help the project grow. Lists of award-winners for any award of significance are eminently verifiable (you are right, currently lacking sources - {{sofixit}} :-), and they identify other articles that may merit creating in the future. – SJ + 05:40, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I've got no opinion about this list but I just want to echo SJ's comment: Redlinks are GOOD, because they show us what still remains to be written. Are all of these ever going to be written? No. So what? Carrite (talk) 02:13, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I am not discounting your point of view, but ... we should be mindful of the last paragraph of WP:REDNOT Exit2DOS ^{• Ctrl • Alt • Del} 00:15, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Listcruft! Do you realize that World Economic Forum#Young_Global_Leaders has only 3 sentences about it and a list of about 30 names there too?? Exit2DOS ^{• Ctrl • Alt • Del} 01:16, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to 'Young Global Leaders' - The group itself is mildly notably, barely. So WP could have an article on the group. A mere list, though? No. So, I suggest mutating this list into an article on the group itself. I understand the group itself is barely notable (it doesn't look like they actually do anything: it appears to be mostly a status symbol) but it is well documented. --Noleander (talk) 01:20, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is barely enough to sustain a section within the Parent Article already. If the intention is to link these bluelink people together in a group, I believe a Category would work better. Exit2DOS ^{• Ctrl • Alt • Del} 08:20, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
