List of celebrites with many children
The major problem I can see with this list is that (as in the one listed a few days ago about "celebrity parents of twins") this is an indiscriminate collection of information. Granted all of these people are famous, but they're famous for directing movies, playing professional sport or being the dictatorial ruler of Uganda. Additionally, we may be dealing with a shaky definition of "celebrity", given some of the names included here. BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 07:34, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. Strange listcruft - not to mention with a glaring spelling mistake in the title and a clearly too low "highest" entry (see Mohammed bin Laden as one example). I'm not sure what the point of this list is, since its comparing between people in different professions, cultures, religions, socio-economic status and not to mention era (e.g. avg. number of children much higher in Europe before full industrialization/introduction of contraception - this makes the Bach entry look odd (the only pre-20th century one on the list, I think)) - and childbearing isn't some kind of race.

 * Delete - listcruft. And much of it, of course, unverifible without DNA testing. BTLizard 11:14, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Simply because there's no reason not to. My dad has five, maybe he can get on the list...  Daniel_123  ► ►  13:43, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete for reasons listed above. However, I will also say (and yes this probably sounds sexist) but the notion of men fathering alot of children is not really notable or of encyclopedic merit. (And BTW, where's Shawn Kemp?) They can father children with many women and not miss a beat. Now for a woman to be on this list (especially the ones that had over 5), that is a bit more impressive since the physical demand of having a child and carrying for 9 months is more of an ordeal. But this is just a footnote in their main article page. Also, I will say that the "honorable mention" at the very bottom of the page is rather perverse. I don't anyone woman would feel having miscarriages is an "honorable mention". Agne 15:38, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. Listcruft that falls into "who cares?" territory as well. 23skidoo 13:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, someone may care, but this list in unmaintainable and how many is "many" and how do we know how many children some people really have? some DNA testing to come? Carlossuarez46 20:27, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
