List of heroes by country
While this is not close enough to the deleted List of heroes to be deleted as Criteria for speedy deletion G4, I think that it suffers from the same problems listed at Articles for deletion/List of heroes. The list already contains names that caused problems in the original and it will just continue to get worse. It's just an exercise in POV as my hero is your enemy.

 * Delete, per nom and reasons for deletion of List of Heros. Inherently POV and the vague criteria in its present form are of no real assistance.Agent 86 01:34, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, who qualifies as a hero is subjective. VegaDark 01:55, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete due to the POV and subjectivity issues. I bet many people didn't see Martin Luther King as a hero, and any list where Paul Bunyan, Babe Ruth and Abe Lincoln could end up together doesn't seem encyclopedic. I doubt there is enough national consensus to add reliable sources to the list. SliceNYC 02:30, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete POV magnet   Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  02:51, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Inherently POV, completely unsourced and suffering from ambiguity. i.e.: Depending on where in Canada you are, Pierre Trudeau is either one of Canada's greatest leaders, or one of its greatest villains.  I do not believe anyone has called him a hero. Resolute 03:45, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete List of villains by country...do we add George W. Bush or Ted Kennedy? This is definitely not a Pandora's Box I want opened...-Elmer Clark 03:57, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete One country's patriot is another country's terrorist. --Ageo020 04:42, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * For a correct conclusion, that's a very bad argument. Heroes by country means "People who are heroes to country X" - country Y's opinion doesn't enter into it.
 * Strong Delete One's heroes are relative to that person, not to the nation-state in which that person lives; therefore, inherently POV. --dtony 05:25, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - unless sourced. Perfectly valid encyclopaedic topic - but the list is entirely unsourced. WilyD 13:04, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

What about those humans considered heroic by the entire species? There are less, but they exist. 207.216.10.77 09:35, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete absent a credible objective definition of hero. My friend Bob the blind bike mechanic is a "local hero" (with an award to rpove it) - should he be added? Just zis Guy you know? 13:06, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Totally POV, too open to interpretations - a list of heroes that contains William Spakespeare, Kim Jong-il and St. Patrick has no place in any encyclopaedia Tx17777 13:38, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per above. Crabapplecove 13:48, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Resolute. Danny Lilithborne 23:55, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, listcruft gone wild. Pavel Vozenilek 01:03, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Listcruft is out of control. Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 02:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lack of sources, vague criteria, and a strong POV are some of my reasons. As Resolute said, depending on where in Canada you are, Pierre Trudeau is either one of Canada's greatest leaders, or one of its greatest villains. Terminate with extreme prejudice. &mdash;  Coat of Arms  ( talk )  01:18, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
