List of actors with most Awards

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Too broad a scope for a stand-alone list. What awards? Is there a limit to the type of award considered? How is "most Awards" defined? (Article creator has used 50 awards as the cut-off, but why?) (I'm also unsure how this article will be maintained and updated properly, but I don't think that's a deletion policy.) Singularity42 (talk) 17:31, 10 March 2022 (UTC) (Article's creator has removed the 50 award cut-off and has started including any number, which just furthers my concerns.

 * Delete, no clear criterion, pure trivia. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:51, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete This is just compiling top-line numbers from pages like List of awards and nominations received by Cate Blanchett and List of awards and nominations received by Viola Davis, but that's not actually comparable. Reywas92Talk 18:21, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think top 100 actors with most awards is a good criteria. Here are similar articles such as Footballers with 50 or more international goals. Abbasulu (talk) 19:00, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: trivia, no valid rationale as to why the list should exist — DaxServer (t · c) 19:05, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Article with strong references and the topic is also rational. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abbasulu (talk • contribs) 19:12, 10 March 2022 (UTC) (stricken off duplicate !vote — DaxServer (t · c) 19:36, 10 March 2022 (UTC))
 * Delete. Trivia list and borders original research. Ajf773 (talk) 19:51, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing suggesting that there are any reliable sources that consider these people as a set. We would also need to source every entry, and to have much better explainations of what awards do and do not count, an explanation of which reliable sources support such a descision and so on. Also, is this limited to acting awards, or if a person who is an actor wins an award for singing (such as the Grammy) does this count towards number of awards. I assume if you win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and Later win for Best Actress, that counts as 2. However if you win a specific award, maybe Teen Actor Awards Favorite Actor, twice, does that count as 2 awards because you won that award twice, or does that count as one? What reliable sources would support however we answer this question? On what basis do we end the list, when we get to a certain amount of top winners, or when we get to to a certain number of awards won? What reliable sources support such a cutoff?John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:30, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - this is an original piece compiled by the article creator rather than based on information from reliable sources so the list is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. I also fully agree with JPL above me. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 23:06, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete – there's no good way to define what awards merit inclusion without delving into OR, and sourcing award totals would be nearly impossible – the only place I know of that does that is IMDb, which is not reliable. RunningTiger123 (talk) 17:05, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete The article does not provide proper defined awards and is lacking criteria, just looks like a compilation. Foodie Soul (talk) 12:13, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
