List of deaths reported in Who&

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Was tagged speedy as copyvio, but in the U.S. that which is published in 1914 is apparently public domain. However, is a list like this encyclopedic? We have categories for deaths in any particular year is it really relevant that Who's Who didn't publish the death in 1912 or 1913 until 1914? I think that question answers itself.

 * Delete With fire. This is listcruft to the nth degree. The fact that Who's Who reported it is utterly irrelevent; we already have a list of notable people who died in 1914. i said 00:53, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Userfy In case the editor wants to use it as the basis for deciding who to start new biographies on. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 01:55, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Extremely strong delete. This is 1000% not material for a Wikipedia article.CheckeredFlag200 05:44, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * My intention was indeed to use as a basis for deciding who to start new bios on, so per Richard Arthur Norton maybe I should userfy it. As it's now up for AfD, what's the etiquette on when I can move it to my user pages? Dsp13 09:54, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * On the article, click on "Move" and rename it "User:Dsp13/List of deaths reported in Who's Who 1914". There will be some other steps to take after that, which you can find at WP:USERFY.  Or, you can save it to your hard-drive on the computer, if it's served its purpose of estalbshing who the bluelinks and redlinks are.  I've been working on a similar project for people who died in the 1940s. Mandsford 16:44, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
