List of famous people with a philosophy degree

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete - First off, "famous" is completely subjective. Secondly, listing the awarding of a particular degree within a particular discipline strikes me as an indiscriminate list. Otto4711 07:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom: both "notable" and famous" are completely subjective terms that are very hard to define in a NPOV way without falling into original research. Moreschi Request a recording? 19:52, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Otto. Picking up on his comment, in most cases the degree is likely irrelevant to what many of the listed people are notable for, which only compounds the indiscriminate nature of this list. If there's a need for a category of holders of a degree in any particular field, then fine, but we don't need lists of history majors, biology majors, sociology majors, engineering majors, and so on and so on.
