Unsourced list of 3 people. List itself is not particularly notable per WP:NLIST. v/r - T P 13:50, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your arguments were rejected at the prior AFD for this list. Whether or not it is unsourced at present is irrelevant; obviously whether someone notable is or isn't a professional snowboarder is verifiable, which is what is relevant. WP:NLIST says that in such lists, only those with verifiable notability should be included, so I don't understand the nom's complaint here as that's easily achieved. So why shouldn't this be expanded to be a complete list complementary to the Category:Snowboarders structure per WP:CLN, one that can provide further information beyond an alphabetic list of names, and can group together those that are split up into nationality subcategories? Though I'm surprised to see how long this has been up with no expansion. postdlf (talk) 18:49, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- This is a keep, in case there's any doubt. postdlf (talk) 14:19, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - No reason given for deletion. Lists don't have to be complete to be useful. I've added a couple more names and expanded it a bit, but there was no reason for deletion to begin with. The people added to the list all pass WP:NLIST.--Stvfetterly (talk) 20:23, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep. Plenty of scope for expansion. No valid reason for deletion.--Michig (talk) 18:00, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notable topic/list that has been expanded since AfD nomination. Lugnuts (talk) 19:14, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Pretty clearly an encyclopedic list: a useful source of in-links, sourced, logical in construction. Is it completable? Maybe not, but that doesn't offset the page's potential utility. Carrite (talk) 21:40, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per the above. Snow in the forecast?--Epeefleche (talk) 05:01, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
