 * Delete unless you add this guy. No, for real, delete it. Danny Lilithborne 01:38, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep It seems well-sourced and this is the kind of stuff Wikipedia's good at.--T. Anthony 03:06, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, quirky article but I'm not convinced by the nominator's arguments. Cedars 11:28, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete trekfanlistcruft, and most of the entries have no supporting refs, and it conflates real and fictional people, and who cares anyway ? There's no List of notable Jorge Luis Borges fans. Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:46, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Borges is a person, not a show, so you can't have a guest appearance. This is admittedly an unencyclopedic topic, but Wikipedia isn't a real encyclopedia so it fits.--T. Anthony 01:18, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, inherently subjective Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 22:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete both subjective and useless. We'll have List of notable Green Acres fans next. Eeeek! Carlossuarez46 02:46, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * We do have Category:Science fiction fans and List of notable boxing fans.--T. Anthony 03:22, 5 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep - Whatever its shortcomings, the article is quite useful and informative. RedZebra 09:06, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - This would make interesting trivia on a Star Trek mainpage, but I assume it's not there for reasons of space/flow. I'd say that it is noteable as there are several people on the list who have since appeared in the series because of their fandom (Tom Morello, Kelsey Grammer, even Stephen Hawking), and the cross-over between fictional series is also noteable - for example, Leonard Nimoy has appeared in the Simpsons, William Shatner, Family Guy, and both plus others in Futurama). If all this information is listed elsewhere on Wikipedia (and it is!) I see no reason to remove this particular list. Curiousbadger 14:59, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete very few are referenced, and the reasoning for many is shaky at best (for example, does attending a film's premiere automatically make one a fan of the film?) Bottom line: I don't think that tracking who is a fan of what is a reasonable job for an encyclopedia. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  11:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
