List of Non-resident Indians

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The scope of this list is too large for it to be genuinely useful to a reader. "Too large to be useful" is one of the things that WP:CSC warns against. In this case, even if the list is not already too large, there are millions of non-resident Indians, and probably hundreds of thousands of notable non-resident Indians. This list isn't complete, could never be complete, and would be far too large before it would ever be complete. Delete. Vanamonde (talk) 14:42, 3 June 2017 (UTC) --
 * Delete As per nominator. No point in creating this list, as it has no "encyclopaedic use" at all. — usernamekiran (talk)  14:49, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete The inclusion criteria of this list means that the article could very easily turn into some sort of leviathan. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Exemplo347 (talk) 15:10, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per my older post at WT:INB and per nom. The number of notable NRIs are just too large and diverse now to have a meaningful list, the only time I can imagine such a list (on a general ethnic group etc) would be when they're small and very distinct: eg List of Ashkenazi Jews.

 * Delete Un-referenced indiscriminate list. Most people mentioned are not even NRIs per se (some are globe-trotting Indians and some are citizens of other countries). Jupitus Smart  14:01, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
