::*Their creative content of positioning on the list consists of taking a non-random group of 100 people, applying their own criteria, and giving them a non-random number from 1 to 100. Our filter of "article first" precludes a derivitive work, unless we had articles on '''absolutely none''' of these individuals prior to their list (we've said many of these people were notable before ''Time'' did), and an independenttly sourced alphabetical list or individuals we have articles on, with or without position would be a mere presentation of facts listed in other references, and does not approach the creative content level of musical compositions, lyrics, and written works which have separately been challenged and upheld. The facts are citable in individual articles; those we have articles on can be acknowledged as having been positioned on the list.

Copyright violation, speedy declined by User:Runningonbrains, currently being discussed at Wikipedia:ANI#Copyright and lists. As this is still an unambiguous copyright violation, it needs to be quickly deleted. Jezhotwells (talk) 10:11, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It's been blanked, it's good. The subject is obviously notable. We don't just AfD things that have copyright issues, we try to find ways to fix those issues. Otherwise CCI would be an easy job, because they'd just have to delete everything. SilverserenC 18:11, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • If the article titled on 2012 Time 100 deleted for this concern, so why not for this 2011 Time 100, 2010 Time 100 and so on articles? We try to find ways to fix those issues!--Aashaa (talk) 20:12, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'm not sure we can host the list itself, but we can surely write an article about the list noting its reception by the public and the media. ThemFromSpace 21:26, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep- Well known annual list which meets WP:NLIST. Revdel the copyright version. Referenced discussion of the complete list from reliable sources. Per WP:LISTPEOPLE, individual entries who have articles and are independently sourced can be included. Article list should be alphabetical, preferably sortable, including positions only if independently sourced, too (could be same independent reference as entry). That's a lot of work, but would only be a complete list if. Dru of Id (talk) 04:04, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
