List of famous trinities, trios, triplets, or threesomes
Yet more listcruft, see also Articles for deletion/List of groups of four, Articles for deletion/List of groups of six, and Articles for deletion/List of groups of seven. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Stifle 16:49, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. We dont need this list, non-notable. Abögarp 17:44, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, delete, and delete. No indication why there's anything important about the three-ness of any of these.  Some are just three examples selected from a larger group.  Some aren't really three things, just a phrase with three words.  Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.  Barno 18:08, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neat list, but still list cruft.  young  american  (talk) [[Image:Flag of West Virginia.svg|25px|  ]] [[Image:Flag of Wales (1959–present).svg|25px|  ]] 18:20, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I think it's too big to merge into 3 (number). Yet the number three is culturally significant to many societies. Also this is a fairly well done list that just needs tightened up. I didn't entirely approve of deleting the other number related lists, but most in least had the justification that the article on the number did or could deal with what they covered. This only uses "the dork word I shall not name" as a justification.--T. Anthony 03:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete article about stability of triumvirates during history may by useful but this is just listcruft. Pavel Vozenilek 22:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as listcruft -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 23:42, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless the criteria is tightened up somehow. I mean, it lists Dixie Chicks?! So every music group on Wikipedia with three members in it should be on the list? I don't think so. Turnstep 18:21, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I added the Dixie Chicks, but I've removed them. Before it was listing things never really thought of as trios. I think at the moment most everything in it does count as a trio/triumvirate.--T. Anthony 06:45, 8 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Change to keep. While I'm not sure about the scalability, I've never let that stop me from voting keep before. WP is not paper, and cannot see what harm this page is doing. Does not seem indiscriminate to me. Perhaps too broad, but right now the page is very small. Let's revisit it in three months. :) Turnstep 14:18, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
