This list is indiscriminate, as a large collection of loosely related details. While the people appearing on the list are notable, there is no evidence that the subject matter of the list itself has not been noted elsewhere. The "Not My Job" segment of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me does not even have its own article. This list is also poorly sourced. GracenotesT § 07:03, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete There seems to be no importance or significance of their appearance on the radio news-quiz show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!. Did the ratings for that show sky rocket after an appearance by Madeleine Albright? Did Alan Alda go on that show after a nationally known embarrassing moment? A reliable source statement for each entry in that list as to why a particular appearance on Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! was important or significant in some way could comply with WP:LIST. However, the only requirement to be added to that Wikipedia list is merely an appearance on the quiz show. -- Jreferee (Talk) 07:23, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Repeated from a discussion above: I sense a campaign to rid ourselves of these guest-appearance lists, to which I say, "Thank you!" Non-notable, indiscriminate list. Realkyhick 17:37, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I second that, although I don't know if there are any left, so the campaign may be over. Special:Allpages is useful for finding them though. Crazysuit 00:21, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This is a directory of loosely associated people, because being a guest on a radio show once is not a notable enough characteristic to group people by. Crazysuit 00:21, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
