List of notable coprophagians
I'm not saying I doubt this necessarily; But can any of this be proved? Is it documented, etc? The list makes no mention of evidence. BLANKFAZE | (&#1095;&#1090;&#1086;??) 01:50, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * The precident is clearly against lists that are too contentious and are likely to become breeding grounds for trolls. So delete this one too. Shane King 04:01, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: This list is full of shit. DCEdwards1966 04:23, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: It can coprophage and die. Geogre 04:34, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: Get these feces off this site. --Idont Havaname 07:18, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agree with above statements. --Randy 11:59, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Deleteworthy. --[[User:GRider|GRider\talk]] 19:16, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - this is worthy, for example I found out on the first time that some people on this list were caprophagians despite of knowing about them from before, and this is what encyclopedia is for, to search for info. Someone might need this for an essay or such about caprophagia, so they could check who did it and then check wiki articles about these people to find out more about them. There is no need to delete this - else we would have to delete all lists of people which are related to activities done by people which aren't considered good by mainstream society, as everything can be used by trolls. And if trolls would for example add George W. Bush or some other natable politician or such to this list, that would be immidietly visible. Same trolls could add these people to other lists about people who did bad things. Actually, except for the person who suggested deletion and one other person, nobody else actually came up with reasons, but rather posted some "jokes" instead as reasons. And the arguement about trolls by one who suggested deletion was addressed by me above. Lists are always just lists, no list gives evidence of anything they just list people or things. Like where is evidence on list of sportsmen that everybody is sportsmen and in list of suicides that everybody really died this way - the evidence is in pages about people mentioned, but there only if the page was crated an dit is not a stub and mentions it. Same here. DeirYassin 02:26, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unverifiable, also subliterate (the term is "coprophagists"). Seems to me the article mostly exists for the purpose of saying "Michel Foucault eats shit", which may or may not be philosophically true, but without some at least vague evidence, it's just, well, shit. --jpgordon{gab} 04:40, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge into coprophagia if it can be verified; otherwise delete. &#8212;No-One Jones (m) 04:43, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete' - probably created mainly for derogatory purposes - Skysmith 09:31, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - I look forward to seeing the list of comments the next time this comes up for VfD ;-)
 * Delete. Unverifiable. Agree with jpgordon{gab}'s comments. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 20:42, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unverifiable and unmaintainable. Jayjg 17:04, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, as unmaintainable, generally undocumented, and all in all, full of shit (I can't believe nobody had used that one yet). Lord Bob 05:50, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)
 * I just noticed that DCEdwards1966 did, in fact, use this one. Stupid shitty text find. Lord Bob 20:30, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)
 * delete In case you haven't noticed there are USDA standards on the amount of rat feces allowed in many human foodstuffs, so if you eat in the USA, you might be a coprophage yourself... too many people could get stuck in this article, and probably not for anything but derogation.Pedant 01:26, 2004 Dec 5 (UTC)
 * Delete: However notable the people on this list may be, the fact that they ate shit isn't. I'm sure some people give a shit, but to them, I say: tough shit. I'm sure info on people who may have practiced coprophagia can be found elsewhere. This list is unverifiable, so how do we know its authors aren't totally full of shit? Maybe they have shit for brains. I've been trying to fit in as many "shit" puns as I can, just for shits and giggles. --Szyslak 10:43, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete Eating poo is not a notable activity. I cleaned some fricking dog shit off my shoe with a garden hose last night, and felt some drops of splashback hit my face. This was exceedingly gross, but not noteworthy. Wyss 12:12, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
