List of Canadian celebrities by hometown

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Not sure of the purpose of this list. Grouping people by home town seems very indiscriminate, and there is no explanation at all of what qualifies one as a "celebrity", or what qualifies a place as one's hometown.  Some hockey players are listed, but not most, etc. In fact, Steve Yzerman is listed twice. Some bands are listed, some not. Unmaintainable list, no objective inclusion criteria, trivial intersection by location, unreferenced. Resolute 00:35, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT, woefully indiscrimiante list. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 00:56, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete a case where Categories are the way to go, or at least, grouping by province, not nation. Note, lists of people from say Toronto or Montreal is a different question. FrozenPurpleCube 00:57, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, and break out the Category (as mentioned by Manticore). -- B figura (talk) 01:04, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Considering the population of Canada and the number of celebrities there, you might as well divide them into categories of "Celebrities from [name of province]".--Alasdair 01:28, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, use categories instead by city and/or province. Realkyhick 02:58, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. List of bands from Canada was once organized this way, too, and there was a general consensus that it was a bad idea. Bearcat 07:28, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
