This should almost be a speedy, as it basically a recreation of the article deleted here, but it sort of survived a convoluted AFD before, so here we go again. This article is completely unsourced, and doesn't define either the Hollywood or the Republican aspects. Is it only actual members of the Republican party? Anyone who's expressed right-of-center views? Anyone who has ever voiced support for a single Republican candidate? Anyone who has voiced opposition to a Democrat or a left-wing cause? If it were to clearly define that it is only actual members of the Republican Party, we might have something (assuming we could also define who is "Hollywood" and who isn't), but in that case we'd need a reliable citation for each and every entry being a confirmed member of that party. Right now there are zero such citations. Even if it could meet that criterion, the article is still of questionable usefulness, and another one of those potentially endless lists. There's a reason why there's no List of Hollywood Democrats page. Anyway, the new name aside, this article has all the problems of the earlier deleted article, without any of the sources. I fail to see why it's here. R. fiend (talk) 06:20, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete as unsourced, many entries likely speculation, re-creation of previously deleted material under a new name, and questionable encyclopedic value. KleenupKrew (talk) 08:58, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete "This is a list of known members and/or supporters of the United States Republican Party from the Hollywood entertainment community. This list includes actors, actresses, directors, writers, and famous support personnel. Genuinely questionable entries may be deleted." This actually is a silly, name-dropping list of celebrities whom the author is pretty sure are Republicans. The comments after each name aren't made to prove that someone's a Republican, but to prove that these are famous names. Yes, we know that Desi Arnaz was Ricky Ricardo, and that Hugh Beaumont was the Dad on Leave It To Beaver; the rest, however, is probably based on "I read somewhere that they donated to Ike's campaign". I'm pretty sure you're right about Ronald Reagan and Nancy Davis. Unsourced, uninformative, and uncertain list. Mandsford (talk) 15:36, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
