Wikipedia is not an indescriminate list of things. This information, in and of itself, is not worth its own article on Wikipedia. The Evil Spartan 17:44, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Also might be a copyvio, btw. Tempshill 17:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, this is a copyright violation. 86.137.121.170 18:20, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete A list is not a copyright violation, but a report of what was in the magazine, unless we also use their formatting and other text. But I don't see the point, given that we have articles on all of them; if it is worthwhile, a category would be better DGG 01:13, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, this most definitely is a copyright violation, as it is merely a repetition of the magazine's intellectual property. The production of the list was based solely on the opinions of the individuals involved in creating the list, it is not a factual list, but a compendium of opinion.

- Delete. Copyright violation. ---CWY2190TC 03:28, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Whether or not it's a copyvio - which despite a huge number of these types of articles appearing at AfD, no one has come up with a definitive answer for - it's not encyclopedic; one source's opinion on who or what is the "best" of something generally is not encyclopedic unless it's picked up in a bunch of other media, like Time's person of the year.
