List of actors receiving six or more BAFTA Film Award nominations

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Arbitrary inclusion criteria; there is no reason why this isn't five or more BAFTA Film Award nominations or seven or more BAFTA Film Award nominations, other than the creator of this list has arbitrarily chosen that number. Also nominating the related lists; List of films receiving six or more Golden Globe Award nominations, List of film actors receiving five or more Golden Globe Award nominations, List of film directors receiving three or more Golden Globe Award nominations, List of films receiving three or more Golden Globe Awards, List of actors receiving two or more BAFTA Film Awards.

Many similar and related lists have recently been deleted for the same reasons, ie; List of films receiving the three main Golden Globe Awards per category, List of films receiving six or more BAFTA Film Awards, List of films receiving three or more acting BAFTA Film Award nominations, List of films receiving two or more acting BAFTA Film Awards, List of films receiving ten or more BAFTA Film Award nominations, List of films receiving two or more acting Golden Globe Awards, List of people receiving ten or more Golden Globe Award nominations, List of people receiving three or more Directors Guild of America Award nominations, List of films receiving three or more Screen Actors Guild Award nominations, List of people receiving four or more Screen Actors Guild Award nominations, List of film actors receiving two or more Screen Actors Guild Awards, and List of films receiving the Golden Globe Award "Big Five".

 * Strong delete. This is pure WP:TRIVIA and definitely not a rational list. I mean, why should we unfairly discriminate against films that got "only" five BAFTA noms? And why just nominated films, and not ones that actually won said award? Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 01:06, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP is not a trivia collection or a directory Corpx 01:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete wikipedia is not the place for trivia. Oysterguitarist 03:00, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep WP:TRIVIA does not apply to these lists, the guideline relates to "trivia sections" of unrelated facts.  None of these list contain unrelated facts.  They all clearly go together.  Wikipedia IS a collection of trivia.  What I consider trivia, someone else writes a PhD thesis about.  I think it is very counter productive to try and determine which information is trivial.  We'll never agree.  Rather than try, it would be much more productive to give everything a place in Wikipedia as long as it can be verified with a third party source.  Clearly all of these lists are verifiable. -- &#x2611; Sam uelWantman 06:42, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Whilst it might be true that WP:TRIVIA does not strictly apply here, WP:SAL does, and it was clearly written so that arbitrary lists such as this one can be deleted. Batmanand | Talk 12:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Are reliable third parties discussing the specific topic of six-time BAFTA nominees? I don't see any. -- Charlene 12:11, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as arbitrary criteria. A list of multiple winners in order of their awards might be in order?    Buck  ets  ofg  13:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per above. Also, created some of these lists, has been with Wikipedia since July 2005, but has never posted on a User talk page or apparently any other talk page. This seems odd to me. --  Jreferee  (Talk) 19:13, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
