List of alternate history United States Presidents

 * — (View AfD)

I am completing an incomplete afd nomination. Abstain Iamunknown 19:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete the list makes absolutely no distinction between significant and trivial portrayals, and is in any case an arbitrary construct. Guy (Help!) 20:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with List of fictional United States Presidents. Possibly rename the merged list to something like "List of United States Presidents in fiction" if the word "fictional" is a problem. Tevildo 22:01, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge - per Tevildo bogdan 22:02, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per Tevildo. -- Captain Disdain 22:39, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as nominator - originally part of mass nom at Articles for deletion/List of fictional actors. These are indiscriminate lists drawing largely unrelated articles from a wide variety of genres, difficult if not impossible to maintain and will never aproach completeness.

 * Speedy close. This is a relisting and lacks an explanation for deletion. Keep as per extensive discussion at Articles for deletion/List of fictional actors. -- User:Docu
 * The only reason this is a "relisting" is because someone took it upon him/herself to break up an existing nomination. It is disingenuous in the extreme to suggest closure on that basis and quite frankly your cherry-picking the listings you want speedily closed does not speak well of your motivation. The reason for the nomination is right there in my comments as nominator and stating that there is no explanation is just flat out not true. As for the discussion at the previous nom, a number of those voicing opinions called for keep/close only because of the mass nature of the nomination. It's ridiculous to claim that those procedural !votes constitute consensus on every article individually. Otto4711 05:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It may not be a relisting. See this subpage for an explanation &mdash; Iamunknown 05:02, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy close without prejudice. Nominator gives no rationale for this proposal. —Psychonaut 12:43, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The nom did provide a rationale. See Otto4711's 23:45 2007-01-03 post &mdash; Iamunknown 05:02, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge per everyone above. AndyJones 14:06, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
