List of people by name: Huh-Hum
A complete list of everybody? Ever? Bobby1011 08:11, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Subpage of List of people by name, which overwhelmingly survived deletion here. &#8212;Cryptic (talk) 08:23, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Ok, fine. I thought that this must be a joke. Especially with those letters (Huh-Hum). I wasn't around for the initial debate. Bobby1011 08:27, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * You've got a point there! But the Huh-thru-Hum range got squeezed together by the Hug names and the Hun - Huz ones, which were too big (in different senses; documentation in progress) to accomodate either any names, or enough more names to be worthwhile, from this range. (Unfortunately, it was not workable to use the kind of ranges that would let us have a
 * How to Hug
 * page. Huh! Hum...) --Jerzy•t 08:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Cmt No, notability goes without saying. Specifically, a list of people with bio articles on WP (and, since WP is always a work in progress, also of some notable people who probably should have WP bios. See WikiProject Biography, Lists of people, and an edit of 14:39, 4 February 2002 . --Jerzy•t 08:37, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Is there any need to repeat the arguments that produced lopsided keep votes in 5 previous AfD's on pages like the nominated one, or on the whole list? --Jerzy•t 08:37, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep as implicitly withdrawn by nom, unless anyone has objections to that. — Adrian~enwiki (talk) 08:50, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn. Bobby1011 08:58, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. There have been at least five prior AfD nominations for various parts of the ~750 page hierarchy (+ few hundred templates and helper pages in Wikipedia and User namespaces) that is known as the List of people by name. I don't think the same arguments need to be rehashed over and over again. This list is currently being maintained actively, although I must say it takes some time to polish this to Featured lists level, mainly because we currently have only about 37000 entries. However, there is no reason we couldn't link to all Wikipedia biographical articles (clearly a finite set) from LoPbN, especially with help of automated tools. jni 09:16, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
