List of Norwegians by religion

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This appears as a fairly random list of people, listed by criteria which have nothing to do with why they are famous. I don't see the point of this article, and I feel it contradicts WP:DIRECTORY Barend (talk) 00:17, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete what next? list of Americans by religion? that would be an extremely long article. Categories adequately cover this. LibStar (talk) 00:50, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete An irrelevant and randomly assembled list. Regent of the Seatopians (talk) 01:40, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, an informative, well organized list which serves as a valuable research tool concerning notable Norwegians. Per WP:BLP, any entries concerning living people without inline citations to RS would need to be removed, of course. Peter Karlsen (talk) 02:16, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as Wikipedia is not a directory and it is completely redundant to this category. Armbrust  Talk  Contribs  09:54, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete 1) This is probably actually a legitimate example of an unencyclopedic cross-characterization. 2) Since this is BLP material, each entry needs to be reliably sourced in this list, which it's not. Jclemens (talk) 15:27, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - An interesting idea and nicely rendered, but this particular list needs to be sourced out to avoid violating BLP policy, per J. Clemens... Footnote it A/O or lose it. Carrite (talk) 15:51, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Wikpedia is not a case study. Dew Kane (talk) 23:33, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, it's stupid to have a list. I'd have no problem with categories, though. Roscelese (talk) 03:55, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
