List of contributors to The New Criterion[edit]

This magazine is obviously notable, but it would be impossible to maintain a list of contributors. This is a monthly magazine that has been around for 26 years, and the example cover has 17 different authors. So that's a list of ~5304 authors (if there were no repeats). This is just an impossible and unmanageable list to maintain. Mangostar (talk) 00:01, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Indiscriminate information and a sea of red links. As the nom states, thousands of people have contributed to this mag, but they don't need to be listed. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 00:50, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I've hated this article for several months now. It's an invitational dumping ground for WP:AUTO. Qworty (talk) 03:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Would it not be better to have a category for this, for those already notable. Dloh cierekim 20:50, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
