List of Nobel laureates affiliated with Princeton University
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Last discussion ended in no consensus. The article suffers from three flaws;
 * Notability: The topic of the list is not notable enough to warrant an article ("Nobel laureates aff. with Princeton")
 * OR: The inclusion criteria is a synthesis of two independently notable topics. However, so is "Vegetarian Nobel laureates". It is not up to wikipedians to determine what is a common sense topic or not. That is up to reliable third party sources.
 * 3.b: this information could easily be included in the list of nobel lauraetes. Sandman888 (talk) 21:36, 15 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Speedy close - The last AfD for this article ended 6 days ago... You're not very likely to get a different result a mere 6 days after the previous AfD, especially considering the article hasn't had a single edit made to it since that time. Perhaps your time would be better spent attempting to incorporate this information into List of Nobel laureates, which would provide a much stronger argument for the deletion of this article.  I have already proposed a way to do this on Talk: List of Nobel laureates.  Just waiting for a few good volunteers to help me with it, because it's going to be a big job.

 * Speedy close The last nomination was to prove a point and this even more so. This is an almanac entry like a list of popes, or countries listed by GDP. I am not sure the notability guideline covers article names for almanac entries. We generally don't have to show that the same list appears in another almanac. It just needs to be useful and the individual items listed need to be referenced. We also don't delete lists before a suggested alternative is created. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 03:56, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - The article fully meets Wikipedia's notability guideline and is not original research, so there are no grounds for deletion. If the issue is whether to merge it into another list, that's not a deletion issue and doesn't belong here. BRMo (talk) 04:25, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong keep The information is notable through the appropriate guidelines. 17:33, 20 June 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hash789 (talk • contribs)
 * Keep "It is not up to wikipedians to determine what is a common sense topic or not" - isn't it? Sources provide back-up not common sense. They are (hopefully, but not always...) fact not reason. Peridon (talk) 20:14, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
