With the deletion of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber on Twitter, this list has outlived its usefulness.While I was one of the proponents keeping the list before, I thought it made sense for navigation when we had multiple Twitter articles (at there were at least four additional ones). Now that there is only Barack Obama and a few other less popular feeds, it is not nearly as useful. kelapstick(bainuu) 21:58, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Use of Twitter by celebrities and politicians which itself likely needs a rename. I agree that as is, it is no longer useful and may get much less so in time. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  22:13, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete (and redirect to another article) - There is already a Category:Twitter accounts. There is nothing valuable about rankings and followers in this list. --George Ho (talk) 23:55, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * You're all aborting my favorite child. I'm saddened. When I signed up for Wikipedia, so many years ago, I didn't realize that this was my future--this, which is now being cut short. I hope that the tweetable title "List of notable people who have articles on Wikipedia regarding their use of Twitter" continues to live somewhere as a redirect. As the creator, though, I am obviously biased, so I'll refrain from commentary. Drmies (talk) 01:00, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It appears that your request to save the redirect has fallen on deaf ears. My condolences.  When will the service be held?  Never mind, I will read about it on your Twitter feed. --kelapstick(bainuu) 07:07, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't see how a list of twitter users could be encyclopedic. Keystoner  idin (speak) 05:10, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. This list makes about as much sense as "List of Facebook users" or "List of Internet users".  —Psychonaut (talk) 09:01, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment I just closed Talk:Use of Twitter by celebrities and politicians as merge List of Twitter users to Use of Twitter by celebrities and politicians. Regards, Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0  07:16, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Good grief! Does that mean go-to-hell-you-all-delete-voter-i-have-already-decided-that-it-be-merged-and-thus-a-redirect-be-made? §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 09:32, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It was more like a FYI, that a merge could take place before the conclusion of this discussion. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0  09:41, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
 * If I understand you correctly, we have a probable conflict between the ongoing processes. Any ideas of how to resolve this? This AfD was started several days after the merge discussion was started,by someone not involved in this discussion. I fully concur with the results of that merge discussion, but isn't our normal practice that a decision on a community page has priority over local consensus on an article talk page.? Or does whichever one gets there first supersede the other?      DGG ( talk ) 15:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep/ It surprises me that so many people wanted to delete this  - this article would be useful in helping people to appreciate how many celebrities, such as Stephen Fry, have  - at least some stage in their careers  - used Twitter. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 13:57, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
