List of parents who homeschool their children

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

Trivia list. Only one attested example is some guy called Jimmy Wales. Troikoalogo (talk) 09:57, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - the "parent article" was up for deletion previously but, I'm not sure of the outcome. I believe lists with only one entry fall under the speedy criteria for lack of content as well. Jasynnash2 (talk) 10:11, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, there is no particular reason to expect parents who homeschool to have Wikipedia articles. WillOakland (talk) 10:36, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete; this could easily have been PRODded. Only one example, and even if this were well-sourced and expanded, I would consider it indiscriminate information and since it's also cruft of a kind about living people (and their presumably non-notable children), it's not the sort of list we should have.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 11:08, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * This article is about the notable parents not the non-notable children. Zginder 2008-05-29T13:31Z (UTC)
 * Delete: Per WP:INDISCRIMINATE.  Otolemur crassicaudatus  (talk) 11:16, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into Jimmy Wales article. Kidding. Delete as per all those good reasons above.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 11:31, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Otolemur. Parsecboy (talk) 13:06, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as indiscriminate information, and based on the precedent of Articles for deletion/List of homeschooled individuals (2nd nomination). If having been a homeschooled child is not considered worthy of a list, I don't see how being a homeschooling parent could be worthy either. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 13:51, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, only three people on the list. While this information could be included in a larger article (such as the main Homeschooling one) if given sources, it's sadly incomplete as it stands. Fusion  Mix  13:57, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep—The article now has five well sourced parents and has room to grow. Articles for deletion/List of homeschooled individuals (2nd nomination), does not set precedent because the main objection there was a dearth of reliable sources, which is no longer a problem here. Zginder 2008-05-29T15:02Z (UTC)
 * Comment if the article is kept List of homeschooled individuals needs to be turned into a redirect with the history restored to comply with the GFDL. Zginder 2008-05-29T15:15Z (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete A wildly incomplete bit of trivia. (Though I wonder what Tom Cruise is teaching his kid.) Ecoleetage (talk) 16:32, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yes, the very few examples are of notable people and sourced, but does home schooling play any role in the notability of these people? I think not. The examples and sources can perhaps be transferred into another article on homeschooling, but there's no need as I can see for a list, especially one with a pretty broad criteria for listing. Home schooling isn't considered a particularly unusual form of schooling these days. I agree with Zginder that if this article is kept, then the list that was AFD'd last week may as well be put back, too and maybe merged with this list. 23skidoo (talk) 18:04, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Ron B. Thomson (talk) 18:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm afraid this looks like an indiscriminate collection of information. In the end it would become unmanageable, as there are potentially millions of people that would be on it.  Dloh  cierekim  22:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

 * keep - I find the list interesting, educational - and bordering on fascinating. Kingturtle (talk) 12:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * And you may want to have a look at Wikipedia arguments to avoid in deletion discussions.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 13:20, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
