List of missing persons in Ireland

 * – ( View AfD View log )

List possibly meets WP:LISTCRUFT. It is dyamic and infinite list that is not up to date per. I can't see the worth but could be notable.  scope_creep Talk  17:00, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Or, failing that, merge/redirect the list entries that meet the related inclusion criteria to List of people who disappeared mysteriously. Per nom, the inclusion criteria here is not defined at all. To the extent that I can't figure out what it is. (Is it a list of every person who ever went missing in Ireland? If so, how is that not WP:INDISCRIMINATE? Or is it a list of every person who went missing in Ireland between 1972 and today? If so, why or how have we determined that? Or is it a list of every missing person case meeting a specific notability/coverage threshold? If so, what is that notability/coverage criteria and why do we have some entries that aren't supported/supportable by any refs or evidence of coverage? Or is it just a republication of the list of missing persons on this Garda.ie webpage? If so, how does that align with WP:NOTMIRROR?) Beyond that, I'm not sure how WP:LISTN is met. (For example, when would Byrir Jange and Jean McConville ever have been discussed as part of the same group or set by any source? Certainly, the only place anywhere on the internet they are discussed together seems to be this Wikipedia list. Ditto Annie McCarrick and Patrick Cooney. And, per LISTN, that shouldn't really be the case. Anyway. Per nom, I think this list likely does read like WP:LISTCRUFT (in that it seems broad and likely indiscriminate, the list criteria is not defined, the membership unlimited and unmaintainable, and its membership dynamic to the extent that requires disproportionate effort to keep accurate. (I might be wrong, but I also don't see and precedents of convention for similar lists covering any other country or jurisdiction. So there doesn't seem to be consensus for these country/region specific variants of Lists of people who disappeared). Guliolopez (talk) 16:03, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Per Guliolopez. Both WP:NOTMIRROR and WP:INDISCRIMINATE apply. Newshunter12 (talk) 22:23, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
