List of non-notable people. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 20:39, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists of people-related deletion discussions. -- Favonian (talk) 20:51, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Keep. My arguments are given in this page. Please go there for discussion. --GnuDoyng (talk) 02:52, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

• The supposed arguments are not an argument, but a bold-faced claim unsubstantiated. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 17:43, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

• Strong Keep My argument is also at this page. Of all the useless pages of lists on Wikipedia, I don't understand the rationale for scrapping one that historians, students and many others might use as a helpful reference Vartanza (talk) 05:15, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
• Delete WP:NOTMEMORIAL. If these people don't have their own articles, then this is a memorial page. 76.66.195.196 (talk) 06:16, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

    • Comment on comment. There is no rule against IP editors contributing to a deletion discussion. And by the way: we do not vote, we argue. Favonian (talk) 08:29, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
• Keep. I would argue that they are notable because of how they died. They are considered martyrs and as such they are more than a list of non-notable casualties of a war. A book about them was just published in Chinese. http://user.qzone.qq.com/419752890/blog/1269504274Brian0324 (talk) 13:34, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

  Victims of crimes are not notable because of their having been victimes of crimes. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 17:43, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

  • ...unless the crime was a noteworthy international incident.Brian0324 (talk) 18:22, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
• Delete If they are notable individually, then they should have individual articles. If they are notable collectively, that notability should be in a different article that talks about what happened and why, not lists their names. That article, in fact, appears to already exist at China Martyrs of 1900. gnfnrf (talk) 14:06, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment. Then why not just merge - rather than delete?Brian0324 (talk) 17:31, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
    • Oppose merge. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 17:43, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
    • Because I don't think the names would add anything useful to the parent article. gnfnrf (talk) 23:05, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
  • (semi-sarcastic) Comment. This is why Wikipedia needs relevant, historical information to be contributed and not deleted.Brian0324 (talk) 20:47, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
    • reply Could we just delete all the Pokemon, please? They have a Poke-wiki now... 76.66.195.196 (talk) 05:14, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
• Comment. Columbine High School massacre Here is an example of non-notable names included in an article of a notable incident.Brian0324 (talk) 18:25, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
