List of most expensive objects

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:NOT; indiscriminate mix of "things"; a one-off object such as Hubble Telescope can't be compared to a mass produced object like a bottle of beer, or a film production, which can't even be considered an "object". Hubble cost $1,175,000,000 to produce, but Jackson Pollock's painting was sold for $140 million. These are different concepts of "value" which shouldn't be combined like this.

 * Delete I dont' see how you come up with a sensible list out of this. MarkBul 04:41, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails synthesis in vague scoping and dubious interconnection and comparison. A list of most expensive auction sales would be more encyclopedic. A list of most expensive retail items (wines, perhaps) also has a shot. A list of even the most expensive construction projects is at least going somewhere verifiably comparative. I'm not saying any of these would pass AFD, but they have a better chance than this Everything2-ish article. --Dhartung | Talk 04:43, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - concept lacks cohesion as a list. Delete as a indiscriminate collection of items. Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 05:12, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Maxamegalon2000 05:20, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, indiscriminate list with no real relation between the entries. J I P  | Talk 07:35, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Listcruft of the very worst kind. MartinDK 10:44, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Does that mean that if prices drop we would have to update it here? Nonsense. A most expensive object can be a drug for a very poor person! --  GarbageCollection   - !Collect 11:57, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Also, I am now hungry for the £85 sandwich. Damn you, Wikipedia! --Agamemnon2 13:10, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. If you get the sandwich, wash it down with a bottle of Guinness Mandsford 14:22, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Damn you two! Now I'm both hungry and thirsty! ;) MartinDK 14:30, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Please do not use the world's most expensive function to delete it though. Unless some severe work was done to it, and it was organised on a common theme of say, sale cost... and even then, I'd probably still be reluctant to suggest keeping it. Pursey 16:37, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists-related deletions.   -- John Vandenberg 23:07, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as an indiscriminate collection of info that could conceivably contain thousands of items that are only loosely-related based on being the most expensive item in their group. Useight 03:18, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
