Keep and draftify With proper sourcing and expansion the page will be an adequate list. Trillfendi (talk) 13:17, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Category:Entrepreneurs is a soft redirect to Category:Businesspeople, so we do not categorize people by this label separately. We have a few other lists of entrepreneurs in Category:Lists of businesspeople, however, so whether "entrepreneur" is inherently a "subjective" label or entries can be adequately sourced is not a question unique to this list. postdlf (talk) 14:04, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep We have List of entrepreneurs and there are 10 articles linked to it at the bottom for 10 list articles of entrepreneurs. If you want to rename these articles to list of business people, discuss it somewhere. Don't delete a perfectly valid list article filled with blue links to articles about these notable people.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep WP:LISTCRUFT is neither policy not guideline, just a crude insult, and so there's no case to answer. The current version needs work as it seems to lack a historical perspective but addressing this seems quite feasible by reference to sources such as Indian Merchants and Entrepreneurs in Historical Perspective.

Keep - I somewhat agree with the concern about the lack of a clear inclusion criterion ("entrepeneur" is often used as a vague buzzphrase instead of an objective description). But this flaw is no reason for deletion. Maybe the list could be further limited to notable businesspeople who founded at least one notable business, or "entrepeneur" should be defined more clearly in this context. Anyway, discuss such concerns on article talk - this primarily navigational list is not unsalvageable imo. GermanJoe (talk) 08:47, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
