List of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs)
Too broad. will become unmaintainable and perhaps too lengthy. -- Longhair | Talk 17:22, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment: At the moment this list contains only one entry, but it could become a valuable research tool if there were sublists of CEOs by country and by industry. Martg76 17:50, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * How often would the list change? There must be millions of CEO's out there. -- Longhair | Talk 18:02, 17 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete Ludicrously broad, completely unmaintainable. Would need constant updating, as CEOs come and go like fireflies. Try a Google News search for "new CEO" to see what I mean: in the past 5 hours alone, at least 6 major companies switched CEOs. Intel's getting a new CEO tomorrow. Keeping this one article updated would be almost a full-time job, and its eventual huge size would render any potential use as a research tool completely moot.

 * Delete. Serves no purpose.--Heathcliff 23:11, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pointless, overly broad, unmaintainable. Quale 00:25, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I am tired of seeing lists which cover such large scopes of mostly uninteresting things or people that will almost certainly never been completed. Kelly Martin 03:02, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, unfeasible list. Gazpacho 04:12, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, unmaintainable list. Megan1967 06:25, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Potentially infinite. Use categories instead. Gamaliel 06:28, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Would be practically endless endeavour and next to impossible to keep up to date, especially if it would include all the former CEO's as well (and I am sure there would be support for that). - Skysmith 08:37, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete &mdash; use Category:Chief executives instead &mdash; RJH 15:43, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
