List of Christians in entertainment and media

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I am submitting this page for your consideration per WP:NOT, wikipedia is not a directory. In particular, for consistency with the section on "Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations." For this page I see no "clear grounds for deeming [this] cross-categorization (as compared to similar others) to be suitable content." Note that there is already a Category:Christians by occupation to cover such weakly-related correlations. So a reluctant delete. &mdash; RJH (talk) 16:37, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. WP:NOT. --Evb-wiki 17:28, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm against all articles like this because it baisicly exists for no other reason then to segregate people based on faith alone. Deathawk 21:56, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete- Wikipedia is not a directory TonyBallioni 22:42, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Essentially unsourced, but the bigger problem is the criteria for inclusion. Is it limited to people like Willard Scott or Gavin MacLeod who speak about their faith in Christ without being asked?  Is it more inclusive of people who professed to going to church in a Christian denomination?  Regularly received communion or got saved?  If it's a matter of a person using their celebrity status to promote the interests of being a Christian, Jew, Buddhist, etc, I can see where that would be relevant, in the same sense that a list of vegetarians or Habitat for Humanity volunteers would be relevant.  If it's simply that they went to a church, synagogue, mosque, reading room, etc., I would agree with Deathawk that that's segregation Mandsford 01:17, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
