List of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? top prize winners

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:LISTCRUFT table of all top prize winners on various franchises of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Notes field contains trivia such as "Last winner since 200x", "Nth winner", etc. Any contestants who meet WP:N on their own have an individual article. AldezD (talk) 11:57, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment—There's no debate that there are sources for some of the individual episodes on which the top prize has been won (although there are several dozen unsourced entries), but there are no sources about the topic of top prize winners treated as a whole. This idea is also wrapped up in that a list of contestants would probably not be viable under the WP:BLP1E rules. AldezD (talk) 13:55, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep This page must be not deleted it. And Notes is fine.  Marik-modder (talk) 12:33, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Vincent1995 (talk) 20:31, 13 July 2018 (UTC) Question to you  (talk if we get for example top prize winner. Where do you think we add him/her?  Marik-modder (talk) 09:23, 14 July 2018 (UTC) MaxFinkerBerg1945-2018 (talk) 11:54, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep This wikipedia Page must be saved. If we get for example new top-prize where we add a player, version and date?
 * Delete per nom. Not every game show winner is notable and we certainly don't need to list every single on of them on all regional variants of the game. Also the arguments posted above by @Marik-modder and @Vincent1995 fit more into the category WP:ILIKEIT and offer no real reason against deletion. Ajf773 (talk) 00:04, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom.TH1980 (talk) 01:36, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Ajf773.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 05:37, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep a notable topic, with winners referenced with reliable sources. The notes/trivia field should probably go, but major winners of this program are a notable subject and is too large to cover in the parent article Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? -- Whats new?(talk) 05:57, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep This, to my opinion, does not fit any of the points listed on WP:LISTCRUFT, which AldezD pointed to as the reason for deletion. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is a world-wide phenomenon and one of the oldest and most popular game shows to still run in countless countries in the world; winning the top-prize is a rare-enough occurence to decidedly be notable. This is not a list that exists solely for the sake of having it; in less-popular, less-known game shows, top prize winners are certainly notable enough to be listed on that show's article. This list, however, due to the sheer number of national variants, is far too large to be contained in an article about the show itself. I don't know why this information, solely because the list happens to be long, is any less notable than any other top prize winner information in any other article. Or is AldezD going to scour through every single game show article and remove the list of top prize winners from it? To me, this looks like a rather arbitrary deletion request. --Pascal40 (talk) 19:51, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Additionally, a prior AfD has failed against this article. For additional arguments for keep, see the archived discussion. I do not see how this content might have gotten any less relevant with time, as, if anything, the show only grew in that time. Pascal40 (talk) 17:43, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete as per WP:LISTCRUFT (and, effectively, WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:TRIVIA). The list might be salvageable if it was trimmed to just the top prizewinner in each country, but even that is probably an unnecessary article. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 06:01, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep For me this page must be saved not Deleted it. I can say why, The top prize winners are rarerly trying to win top prize  and also old versions are  returned  + Coming soon 2 new versions they might be have new winners. So This page must be Saved
