Il più grande italiano di tutti i tempi

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable, possibly copyvio. cf. Articles for deletion/200 Greatest Israelis. List articles that simply reproduce lists published elsewhere are non-notable. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:36, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment. Nominator is mistaken in this generic non-notability claim about articles whose topic is a list published elsewhere. If simply reproducing that list, it would indeed quite likely be a copyvio, and thereby a reason for speedy deletion. But that has no bearing on the issue of notability. There, the criterion is whether the topic of the article has received significant coverage in independent reliable sources. --Lambiam 05:58, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:GNG. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:05, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - since this is a nationally-networked television programme, it meets the notability guidelines. Deb (talk) 11:54, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep nomination has no basis except the imaginary policy given, which does not exist, either as stated policy/guideline or in actual practice. : meets WP:N, not copyvio.   DGG ( talk ) 03:32, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. As explained at length at the indicated AfD, there is obviously no copyvio at all.  If there were, we would have to delete (and no press could reflect) the results of Academy Award polls, and Gallup Polls, and the like.  The relevant Supreme Court case (Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service, 111 S. Ct. 1282 (1991)) is set forth at the above-indicated AfD.  See also (with the same conclusion) Articles for deletion/100 greatest Romanians and Articles for deletion/100 Greatest Britons; and note that copyvio wasn't even claimed in the failed Afd at Articles for deletion/The Greatest American.
 * I note, as well, that this appears to be part of a series of 2 dozen AfDs on the same day by the same nom, of most of the national poll results reflected here.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:08, 8 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep These lists are very useful for finding very notable biographies.♦ Dr. Blofeld  22:45, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly not a copyvio, as has been shown above, and equally clearly justified by notability. The supposed policy against such lists is entirely the invention of the nom.  DGG ( talk ) 19:01, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
