List of celebrities who have been arrested for DUI

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Looks like yet another potentially unmanageable list. My gut says delete, but I'm curious about others' opinions on where this falls, so officially I'm neutral. -- Finngall  talk  03:02, 31 May 2007 (UTC) User: (talk • contribs • count ) 17:49, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Unmaintainable, the definition of "celebrity" is POV, possible BLP issues, no context, no scope. Resolute 03:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete There's a strong precedent to delete lists of celebrities where "celebrity" is left undefined. There are many others who have been arrested, and though I don't condone DUI, it's not a big deal either. Yechiel Man  03:33, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Listcruft, pointless, and unmanageable.  just for humor's sake, it should be "people who are notable to be listed on Wikipedia who have been arrested for DUI" (If I see that page created, I'll beat you with my shoe (aka CSD tags)). --Whsitchy 03:35, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete May also have WP:BLP concerns, since some of the individuals on the list have yet to be (or were not) convicted of any offense. -- Charlene 04:54, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Ugly cruft. Also, Wikipedia is not a tool to name and shame. ~ SEEnoEVIL punch the keys 06:43, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Apart from anything else, if it were to become anywhere near complete I suspect there would be an implied thesis that "celebrities" are arrested for this offence more often than non-celebrities, which would be OR by synthesis. JulesH 07:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete potentially huge list with little actual usefulness, also possible BLP violation Hut 8.5 09:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * DUI - Delete Useless Information (like this article). Kill it before it spreads -- so many concerns here, such as whether or not so-forth-and-so-on is a celebrity or not, etc. etc. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 12:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * In addition to the reasons above, let's add being excessively Americocentric (unless we are also getting a link to List of celebrities who have been arrested for DEA - that's Driving with Excess Alcohol in the UK). Delete Excessive Article. Emeraude 14:19, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as unmaintainable, and being arrested for DUI is not particularly notable in any event (it's only what people do during said arrests - see Mel Gibson - that become notable. Also I agree that this is a WP:BLP minefield since it would be so easy for vandals to add names without attribution, which would result in innocent parties being linked on search engines forever with DUI. I'd prefer to see a speedy delete on this on BLP grounds. 23skidoo 14:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - the subject isn't really notable.  Goldenglove 'Contribs · Talk 15:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - This article seems to be pointless for several reasons:
 * 1) How can we be sure the article is correct historically?
 * 2) How can we define celebrity?
 * 3) Who cares? (non notable)
 * Delete we shouldn't have "celebrities" categories, and "arrested for" doesn't mean "guilty". Carlossuarez46 18:38, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
