List of notable baby boomers

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A list for the sake of a list. ukexpat (talk) 15:59, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Notable people born in the 18 year baby boom period are listed on the pages for the individual years (e.g. 1950) one single list would be huge (if completed) and redundant. Guest9999 (talk) 16:26, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment -- See Talk:List of notable baby boomers for why I created this article in the first place. If the result of this AfD nomination is "Delete," then I will also consider that to represent community consensus to keep this list out of Baby boomer.  (I would probably vote "Delete" myself, but I think it is bad form to vote Delete on article you created earlier that day, heh....) --Jaysweet (talk) 17:17, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment -- I saw your comment on the talk page - I don't think the list should exist either as a separate article or in the Baby boomer article. – ukexpat (talk) 17:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd like to notify the IP who initially created the list, so he/she could it least put in his/her two cents -- but unfortunately it seems to be a dynamic IP, so if I left a User Talk message, the odds of it getting to its destination are probably pretty small. Ah well...  --Jaysweet (talk) 17:30, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete While the effort is appreciated, millions of people were born during the "baby boom", and there are thousands and thousands who are notable under the standards of Wikipedia. This article just scratches the surface, and it's unmanageable.  Mandsford (talk) 17:43, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. List casts much too wide a net and could contain the thousands of people born in the Baby Boomer era. 23skidoo (talk) 22:45, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete useless list, too nebulous and too wide scope Alex Bakharev (talk) 07:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
