Revision as of 19:43, 3 June 2010
Kept
- The following is an archived discussion of a featured list removal nomination. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the article's talk page or in Wikipedia talk:Featured list candidates. No further edits should be made to this page.
The list was kept by The Rambling Man 19:43, 3 June 2010 [1].
I am nominating this for featured list removal because during a discussion here there was broad consensus that subcategories should be notable per se, which this list seem to fail. Sandman888 (talk) 11:14, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Wouldn't it be easier to look at the existing criteria, specifically "3(b) In length and/or topic, it meets all of the requirements for stand-alone lists; it is not a content fork, does not largely recreate material from another article, and could not reasonably be included as part of a related article." The argument could be made, for example, that a list of nobel laureates by university fails 3(b) because it could reasonably included as part of a list of alumni / faculty for that university, as well as (obviously) the existing lists of nobel laureates. I wonder whether a new rule is necessary. BencherliteTalk 20:58, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps, but a clarification of the implications of WP:N / 3.b explicitly stating that subcategories should meet certain requirements, I believe, would help a lot since it's open for interpretation. But I think general arguments should be kept at one place, so I've c&p above into the FLC talk. Hope you don't mind. Sandman888 (talk) 05:41, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Personally I think this is the wrong forum for discussion. This is a notability issue. Either it is notable and therefore is of featured quality, or it isn't and should be deleted (AfD). The quality of the list is regardless at AfD if the reasoning for deletion (lack of notability) reaches consensus. By the way there is not problem in directly deleting a featured list.

- I have no objections if you want to go to AfD with this one. Sandman888 (talk) 11:18, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
