Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Armenian Americans


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result was Nomination Withdrawn. It has become apparent that individual nominations of each list of this type is pointless, and a consensus on what to do with the entire group of lists of this type is needed, which will result in a broader consensus with less work. I have created a discussion page at: WikiProject Ethnic groups/Lists of Ethnic Americans to try and determine a policy on these type of lists. Please join the discussion there. Thank you.

List of Armenian Americans

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Per Articles for deletion/List of Portuguese Americans, relisting as individual AfD's. Precedent for deletion at Articles for deletion/List of German Americans. Leuko 18:08, 12 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Opposed to deletion. This list serves a vaild educational purpose by making all Americans aware of the accomplishments of their Armenian-American neighbors, as well as making young Armenian-Americans aware of their cultural heritage and its contribution to American life. The contributors to this list have worked hard to exclude entries for persons for whom there is no Wikipedia article. What is the purpose in deleting this or any similar list? clariosophic 19:04, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * WP:ILIKEIT is really not a valid reason to keep the list, and neither is WP:NOHARM. The purpose of deleting the list is to apply WP policies and consensus to all articles. Leuko 19:17, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Keep this, as well as all other list of citizens of USA by nationality. List is rich and informative. We aren't guilty that there're so many peoples on this world. At last, why do we have encyclopedias? Articles about so many things. Some things someone finds unimportant, but somebody other earns for living on those and makes millions of dollars out of that. In these lists, only the persons that are worth of mentioning should be there, not just "any man picked up from the street". At last, these info is useful. Do you know how many successful international business meetings and business cooperations (I mean all of them, from small shop and taxi cab events to statemen's meetings) began/became more appreciated, just because someone knew whome "belonged" certain "celebrity"?

 * Strong, speedy keep - Important aid for researchers. We only include notable individuals in these lists and they are well sourced. As with previous ethnic group nominations, this nomination, apparently done along with dozens if not hundreds of others all in a single day, is disruptive, WP:POINT, and does not enhance our encyclopedia. Editor apparently presumes that all Americans should simply be "American," and their national origin should be ignored. This attempt to inject political POV into the Wiki should be eschewed in the strongest terms. Improve, don't delete. Badagnani 01:21, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep. I agree with ExRat and Badagnani. In addition, this mass nomination is too POINTY. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 03:56, 13 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep I'm an established user and find the categories hard to navigate. I'm sure the average wikipeida readers will have a nightmare trying to navigate thru them.VartanM 04:17, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
