List of Prime Ministers of Canada by given names
Listcruft, violates WP:NOR. Prod was contested by original author. BoojiBoy 21:39, 25 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. No encyclopaedic value. David | Talk 21:41, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and David. Listcruft at most. Agent 86 21:57, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Question. Can please someone explain how listcruft is a justification for deletion?  Doesn't Wikipedia is not paper imply that any factual, inoffensive list can be kept?  --Arctic Gnome 23:12, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment This is simply the same as List of Prime Ministers of Canada in different order. That is what I call listcruft, largely because it is a pointless duplication and replicates the entries. Unnecessary. Jammo (SM247) 23:45, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I find that lists are not encyclopedic unless they are a necessary part of an article (to better explain or describe the significance of the article or to contribute to a greater understanding of the article). If including such a list in the article itself would make the article itself unwieldy, then creating a separate "article" for the list is fine. However, a list like this does not do anything to help us better understand anything about Prime Ministers of Canada or better explain the significance of the subject. As it serves no such purpose, I consider it listcruft. Just because Wikipedia is not paper does not mean it is a place for trivia or indiscriminate lists of things, per WP:NOT and WP:5P.
