List of British people of Swedish descent
Descent list-cruft. Article serves no useful purpose. No room for expansion or potential to be encyclopedic at this time. &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 04:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. My biggest concern is the OR aspect. Where does one actually find a citation that indicates one is British and speaks with a Swedish accent? Erechtheus 05:03, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Its descent not accent. Viridae Talk 05:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the correction. I don't know how I got the two concepts confused yesterday. I still "vote" delete per your rationale. Erechtheus 22:48, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete could be better served with a cat. Viridae Talk 05:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - There are, say, 160 countries in the world. If we have a comprehensive list of "X people of Y Descent", that would be 25440 articles (160 * 159).  Ouch - Richfife 05:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per richfife. That's a lot of potential articles. Lurker  haver 09:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Although a true listcruft fan would include List of Z people of Z descent making 160*160 :-)   Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  10:45, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
