The title of this article is "List of people who have walked across Australia". You cannot include runners in this category. Does this really need explaining? Walking is walking and running is running. That is a matter of fact. Why does this article even exist, it is not worthy of an entry.

Deletion challenge

This page should not be deleted, because these people have achieved a significant accomplishment and raised money for charity. A similar article also exists on Wikipedia for People who have crossed North America (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_have_walked_across_the_United_States) Bezza84 (talk) 04:44, 19 March 2011 (UTC)Bezza84Bezza84 (talk) 04:44, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As a general rule, other stuff exists is not an accepted reason for inclusion. However, after reviewing the list that you provided and skimming through the AfD that happened on its behalf, I can allow that - perhaps - lists such as this could be allowable. I would suggest that you reference the article well and give some better statements in regard to notability. I would also suggest moving this to List of people who have walked across Australia, as that would be a more accurate representation of what this "article" really is.

Word wrapping TOC

Hello. If anyone knows how to word-wrap the Table of Contents, I would appreciate your assistance. I'm trying to read up on it, but it's not the easiest trick in the bag. Cheers. Bezza84 (talk) 15:11, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
