List of Indians commemorated in the editorial page of the New York Times

Unsourced, extremely broad and narrow list. Delete Secret account 14:25, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete terrible precedent; "commemorated" is a bit of weaselword - does that mean mentioned? eulogized? the subject of an editorial? by the NYT or by any other guest editor? letter writer if the letter appears on the "editorial page"? Anyway, whatever it may mean do we want 200 nationalities times thousands of newspapers who may commemorate people from each. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:15, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Even if sources were added, editorial comments occur every day in the New York Times and other newspapers.  As the nominator notes, this is too broad (more than a billion people in India over the years) and too narrow (people "commemorated" on a particular newspaper's editorial page) at the same time.  And why aren't Geronimo and Sitting Bull on here?  Just kidding. Mandsford (talk) 20:16, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Shall we also have List of Mexicans in the editorial of the Bombay Times? Or List of celebrity chefs mentioned in the Catholic Herald? No, a clear case of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Delete, fails WP:NOTDIR point 5; "Non-encyclopedic cross-categorization".  Sp in ni ng  Spark  16:55, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
