List of White South Africans

List serves no useful purpose. Kevin (talk) 23:35, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * So, is that a Keep or a Delete? Or is it just a Comment? Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 04:37, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It is the statement I made when I nominated this list for deletion. Kevin (talk) 04:42, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Roger. I apologize for getting confused. I would really like to hear from the author as to what his point was with this article. I think I know, but I'd rather let him explain, if he cares to. Meanwhile, the Tom Lehrer song "Who's Next?" is running through my head. Its subject should be applied to this article. 0:) Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 05:46, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong delete WP:LISTCRUFT, anyone? Raymie Humbert (TrackerTV) (receiver, archives) 23:44, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:CRUFTCRUFT is a genuinely worthless argument. Please try to properly explain your delete vote so that it can carry at least some weight. SashaNein (talk) 03:13, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe "cruft" is too technical. How does "junk" grab you? A 9-month old "article" with 2 names in it? It's not an article, it's a list of the letters from A to Z. That's already covered under "Alphabet". P.S. What's your view on the article, as opposed to your view on the user's comment? Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 03:56, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Article was started 9 months ago and has 2 entries. Given the political leanings of the creator, it was probably intended to prove a point of some kind. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 00:28, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete List doesn't offer any limiting criteria beyond skin color... heck, what is to be done with mixed race individuals? More importantly, no claim to notability of the list's subject asserted. Townlake (talk) 01:00, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * So it's a little incomplete. You just add several million names, do an article on List of Black South Africans, add several million more names, and source all of them. Or, better yet, Delete. Eauhomme (talk) 03:00, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't forget Coloured and Asian, for completeness of the four-Apart-heid "Who's Who". Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 03:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * delete - A list that can never be complete. Further, binning people by ethnicity is a BLP violation. ALso, per nom. ++Lar: t/c 04:21, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * delete - a blp debacle waiting to happen, serves no encycopedic purpose. --Rocksanddirt (talk) 04:58, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete per nom and for a universe of excellent reasons to remove a non-encyclopaedic source of contention. docboat (talk) 05:10, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * delete - lack of content. not notable --T-rex 05:30, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
