List of news presenters

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is inaccurate, incomplete and not very useful to users. Much of the information is included within individual broadcasters or countries pages. To try and list every person who currently does or ever has read the news in one place is just not possible. There are many thousands of people across the world who fall into the category of this page, and very few are included. It is impossible to make this article accurate, therefore I feel it should be deleted, with relevant information included on individual country/broadcaster pages.

 * Delete unmaintainably broad. 74.207.78.189 (talk) 05:12, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Reading an AfD further down in the day's log I am reminded that other very broad lists exist in acceptable states, and the page is not actually in any kind of disrepair, the majority of links are blue. I believe lists are by default assumed to be lists of only those entries which satisfy notability guidelines to warrant their own articles. 74.207.78.189 (talk) 05:17, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep The nomination's claims of impossibility are irrelevant because it is our policy that our articles may be less than perfect. Warden (talk) 20:19, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Appropriate list; a list of anything at all compiled on the basis of their notability as shown by  Wikipedia articles is obvious possible, as possible as the articles themselves. That there are other notable people who ought to be included is to be solved in the usual way, by making articles about them. Obviously such lists will always be incomplete, for there will always be new people in a profession whose notability has not yet been recognized with Wikipedia articles, but that's true for almost anything.
