 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Previously deleted by AfD. Recreated. Prod contested. An unmanageable list with vague inclusion criteria (what exactly is a notable "first"?). Also trivia. Tim Song (talk) 21:21, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Inclusion criteria are way too vague. Could be split into "List of population firsts," etc. Specific topics would be good to have "firsts" about, but a list based around the general concept of a first is "completely unmanageable" as Tim Song said.

 * Speedy Delete G4. Last AfD closed as delete less than two months ago, should go to DRV to contest. - SpacemanSpiff Calvin&#8225;Hobbes 00:37, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete G4. Unless it can be demonstrated that the page is substantially different to the old page, it should be deleted. twilsonb (talk) 01:07, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete The concept is the same as the list deleted, but focuses on entirely different things at this point. The deleted version focused on presidents and politicians. Probably not techincally a G4, but either way, the inclusion criteria is far, far too vague for any hope to be encyclopedic or maintainable. Resolute 03:54, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The criteria for which "firsts" will be included are too vague. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:06, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
