The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS. Actually I can be considered tall, because I'm 6 of your "feet" and 1 of your "inches". &mdash; J I P | Talk 16:15, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Insignificant, will be permanently incomplete 165.123.152.196 08:02, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete What are the criteria for tall or for famous?  Is a tall Hottentot a small Masai?  Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk   10:56, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Abstain apparently 6.0 feet is the criterion for size. But it's hopelessly POV as there's no metric equivalent given and it immediately exludes people relatively long within their race which happens to be small. - Mgm|(talk) 12:44, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete - agree with Dlyons, categories are subjective. --MacRusgail 20:07, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete Subjective list without sufficient criteria, ergo unencyclopedic. Xoloz 13:00, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - far from the wierdest list we have, and a list of unusually tall men is not beyond being useful. Trollderella 19:57, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Trollderella. Denni &#9775; 22:35, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep list of people with notable property..  Grue   14:52, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, ill-defined. 6 feet was tall in the Dark Ages, but is nothing special today. --Ashenai (talk) 14:55, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete does not add value to wikipedia -- red stucco 09:08, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but improve. I'd suggest modeling after the List of famous tall women and start at around 6'3" for tall criteria. --Fallout boy 10:04, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand a good idea so far poorly implented, Fallout boy's suggestion is noteworthy.
 * (unsigned by User:Reflex Reaction).  Grue   14:24, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but change criteria. Fallout boy's suggestion is a good one. --Jacquelyn Marie 18:38, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
