List of Communists in Omaha, Nebraska

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Totally unworkable list. If this were ever to be complete it would have hundreds if not thousands of entries; we don't have similar lists for any other town in the US (even List of Communists in New York or List of Communists in San Francisco, where the party were active - Omaha was hardly a hotbed of world revolution. Plus, even the five entries on there are extremely dubious - I've heard Malcolm X called lots of things, but "Communist" isn't generally one of them. -  irides centi   (talk to me!)  20:13, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete. Ridiculous article. How can you make a list of every comunist in a town? McCarthy already tried that. --Mars2035 20:59, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as a violation of WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. There is no real value to this: each person on the list is either not notable or has a bio mentioning both Omaha and Communism. Also, no references. Callix 21:02, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment the reason I haven't prodded this (I don't think it warrants a speedy) is that the creator, Freechild has a history of valid edits (although possibly a multiple-user account of The Freechild Project) so I thought it seemed fair to give him/her/them a chance to defend it -  irides centi   (talk to me!)  21:36, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Response. I have been a particularly prolific WPedian in the last few months, but I am only one person. - Freechild 02:33, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. I wanted to see how many names this list could gather, but I'm not committed to it being encyclopedic content. - Freechild 22:07, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, possibly speedy. The nom is right - Omaha, NE is more the home to good (but expensive) beef. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 22:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, unnecessary, indiscriminate (rather like List of Illinois Nazis). --Dhartung | Talk 01:24, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I must admit that I chortled when I saw the article title - one hardly would have taken Omaha as a hot-bed of communism - but after reading the article (a pretty short list), I think it has to go per nom. Carlossuarez46 03:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a particularily notable or useful classification on which to base a list. Maxamegalon2000 05:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per everyone else, including the creator. Punkmorten 20:17, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete an indiscriminate list of information. Acalamari 20:59, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
