  • Delete per nom. Danny Lilithborne 02:30, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Define notable? This article would be huge and would cause a huge amount of POV. Culverin? Talk 06:45, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Since inclusion in Wikipedia automatically qualifies them for inclusion on this list it is unneeded. We have plenty of categories for people. Koweja 03:41, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete indeed, but who spent all that time creating this?!--Dmz5 03:48, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. And what constitutes notable anyway? MER-C 04:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, for the purposes of Wikipedia, Wikipedia:Notability (people) will tell you. Koweja 04:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The list doesn't say that, so it's arbitary and indiscriminate. Not every entry on a list of x people has to meet WP:BIO. MER-C 05:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete pointless and a waste of space. --210physicq (c) 04:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete utterly useless. And I'm not on it, so it's inaccurate. SkierRMH,09:57, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, too long and impossible to maintain ... and even less to monitor Alf photoman 15:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, indiscriminate list. Punkmorten 16:21, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete to avoid possible POV issues FirefoxMan 16:52, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Far too subjective, indiscriminate, and pointless to ever maintain such a list. Yamaguchi先生 03:09, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, per nom. It would have to include every single person considered notable per Wikipedia:Notability (people) or be subject to endless argument as to what is considered notable enough for the list. Pointless. Caim 03:40, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this is a bit too arbitrary and broad scope for a list.-- danntm T C 04:19, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Would create to much argument on what to be included. --  Mikedk9109  (hit me up)  22:15, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
