Eligible writers who have not won the Nobel Prize in Literature
As the creator acknowledges this is a limitless list that is based on a subjective assessment against arbitary criteria. Simply unencyclopaedic. Delete. BlueValour 19:46, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - I created this to prevent a revert war on Nobel Prize in Literature and was going to db-owner it as soon as the debate was resolved. Didn't expect it to go to AFD quite so quickly, but obviously a delete for the reasons I stated in Talk:Nobel Prize in Literature Yomangani talk 21:02, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Theoretically, aren't Jacqueline Susann, Harold Robbins and Danielle Steele eligible? Ian Fleming? Zane Grey? This is somebody's idea of "great" writers who didn't win, and has to be inherently POV. Fan-1967 00:15, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete... in theory, couldn't this be Category:Authors who have not won the Nobel Prize? Not a serious request, obviously. My point is that this list is unmaintainable and is a haven for POV madness, per Fan-1967. -- Kinu  t /c  05:43, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Not to mention the immortal Edward Bulwer-Lytton: "It was a dark and stormy night..." -- Fan-1967 14:08, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - as Nom. The list could be almost limitless!  Peterkingiron 16:21, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
