List of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Listcruft, fails WP:V and WP:RS. Unmaintainable list because of the number of (non-notable) people to die that way Tomj 13:00, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The article asserts that it is a list of notable people who have died of carbon monoxide poisoning, but that being said, unless the people are notable for dying of carbon monoxide poisoning then the list is trivial, and does not conceivably organize the information in any practical way.

 * Delete - Could be a fine category. 75.184.84.89 13:17, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above, although I don't even see this being a valid category. Again, unless someone is notable for dying of CO poisoning, there's no need for either a list or a category.  ɑʀкʏɑɴ 15:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT. Best suited as a category. Nen  yedi  • (Deeds•Talk) 16:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above - no need to categorize deaths by method (?).  I'd also think a category would work Corpx 16:42, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with Corpx that categorizing deaths by method is unnecessary (other than for people who have a fixation on death). I'd add that most of these would be suicides, though not all, and I think an article categorizing a particular type of suicide is not something to encourage.  Granted, this is not a how-to, but I'd prefer that people aspire to be like John Kennedy O'Toole for A Confederacy of Dunces, rather than because he killed himself.  By the way, what's the Roman Emperor Jovian doing on the list?   Did they ancient Romans do a convex glass autopsy, or did they find him in his chariot with the horses still running?

 * Delete Interesting, but unmaintainable. ¿SFGi Д nts!  ¿Complain! ¿Analyze! ¿Review! 20:42, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. It is also not always crystal clear (Zurab Zhvania). Pavel Vozenilek 20:55, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Unmaintainable list. Man It&#39;s So Loud In Here 22:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is far too common cause of death (frequently suicide) for a list to be valuable.  Peterkingiron 15:55, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
