List of people considered polymaths

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

There isn't widespread agreement as to what qualifies someone as a polymath, so inclusion guidelines are open to interpretation, and the topic of the list may thus be unencyclopedic (failing WP:LISTN). There was also an AfD in 2006 on what looks to have been a very similar article, citing concerns about appropriateness for this topic and verifiability.
