The result was   no consensus. No clear consensus right now. I recommend following Noleander's rename suggestion and see if the article about the organization sticks. The list of BLPs may be deleted if not sourced inline.  Sandstein  16:30, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

WP:NOTDIR. I see far more redlinks than blue, and no sources. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 20:53, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. Honestly, what's this crusade against redlinks?  It is misguided -- they help the project grow.  Lists of award-winners for any award of significance are eminently verifiable (you are right, currently lacking sources -  :-), and they identify other articles that may merit creating in the future.  – SJ +  05:40, 24 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - I've got no opinion about this list but I just want to echo SJ's comment: Redlinks are GOOD, because they show us what still remains to be written. Are all of these ever going to be written? No. So what? Carrite (talk) 02:13, 7 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - I am not discounting your point of view, but ... we should be mindful of the last paragraph of WP:REDNOT Exit2DOS • Ctrl • Alt • Del 00:15, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - Listcruft! Do you realize that World Economic Forum has only 3 sentences about it and a list of about 30 names there too?? Exit2DOS • Ctrl • Alt • Del 01:16, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Rename to 'Young Global Leaders'  - The group itself is mildly notably, barely. So WP could have an article on the group.  A mere list, though?   No.  So, I suggest mutating this list into an article on the group itself.   I understand the group itself is barely notable (it doesn't look like they actually do anything:  it appears to be mostly a status symbol) but it is well documented.  --Noleander (talk) 01:20, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * There is barely enough to sustain a section within the Parent Article already. If the intention is to link these bluelink people together in a group, I believe a Category would work better. Exit2DOS • Ctrl • Alt • Del 08:20, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
