  • Comment Appears to be an incomplete listification of Category:Deified people, where it appears in a hatnote. Doesn't smell like OR exactly; more like a cross-namespace POVFORK. Seems to fail LISTCRIT due to unclear inclusion criteria, given the much narrower scope than the category it purports to describe. Some of the writeups are poor. Some also lack citations, which are likely to be found in the linked articles. Folly Mox (talk) 03:27, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Meets the general criterion of WP:NLIST. [1][2][3] reviewing [4]. Other texts like [5], [6] There are indeed some clear ways to improve this, including requiring RS for each entry, improving the summaries, etc. —siroχo 05:01, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Pretty good list in keeping with Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists guidelines. The Category:Deified people at the bottom would be correct to be there. Net positive for Wikipedia. — Maile (talk) 14:39, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – It should be improved, not deleted in this case. Seawolf35 (talk - email) 15:13, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • KeepExpand, improve as needed. AFD is not the place for cleanup. This is a notable topic. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 19:26, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the comments above: notable topic, most members meet WP:NLIST. Policy says keep.

  • Keep - WP:DINC. The concept is widely referred to in secondary and tertiary literature, and the examples are valid (if woefully slishod and incomplete). Cheers, Last1in (talk) 15:15, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:NLIST and the comments above. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 23:51, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
