The result was keep. WP:SNOW. As noted below, it is standard to maintain such lists and restrict them only to notable entries, such that the inclusion criteria is the same as the corresponding category. Length is clearly not even an issue at this time, and even if it became too lengthy deletion is not the solution, as has also been noted below. The nominator should pay closer attention to the first lines of WP:NOTDIR, as well as read WP:NOTDUP and WP:ATD. postdlf (talk) 15:38, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a directory. This list tends to be too exhaustive has the potential of being overly long. ~ ScitDei^{Wanna talk?} 11:41, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Part of a series of Category:Lists of Indians by state. Clearly defined inclusion criteria for a group of notable people. The only rationale presented is that it'll be "overly long". That's not a valid reason to delete. The article can be split into sub-pages as and when needed per WP:SIZE. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 13:44, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep: Too long then don't read. See no rationale for deletion. Its part of Category:Lists of people by place. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 03:47, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Guys! chill. I have no issues keeping this list if it has a proper inclusion criteria. I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere. And I thought this list will include all people of Delhi, which would be absurd. I would also like to mention that I had invoked WP:NOTDIR as the reason and added the too long clause for a little more weight. I noticed that all the people mentioned have their own Wiki article. Is that the Criteria? If it is, then what is the requirement of a List when we already have it??~ ScitDei^{Wanna talk?} 04:31, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The list and category both can coexist.Shyamsunder (talk) 06:59, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
