List of Chinese people notable in the West

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

A very dynamic list if there ever was one. There are gazillions of Chinese-speaking people notable in the west!  Kayau  Don't be too CNN  I'LL DO MY JOB   uprising! uprising! 08:49, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete- because of the vague and excessively broad definition. Given that Wikipedia's servers are in Florida (ie. in the West), does this mean that every Chinese person with a Wikipedia article would be included? Reyk  YO!  10:41, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP only includes notable people. List of Chinese people already exists!  Mootros (talk) 23:19, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - The purpose of this list eludes me. If someone is notable in one place more than another place, we can note it on their individual article. Also, to avoid ethnocentrism, we would need to add articles like "List of Chinese people notable in Africa", and "List of Chinese people notable in South America". It's better to avoid the whole mess and stick to general notability, not notability by region.--Danaman5 (talk) 15:55, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong delete under this name or its original name, "List of Chinese people". I've used this list as the quintessinal example of listcruft: a hopelessly incomplete list that doesn't provide an encyclopedic benefit to anybody and is much less useful than the already existing category system. Please delete this and all other "List of people from X country" articles. Wikipedia is not a directory or an indiscriminate collection of information nor should it pretend to be any of those.
