List of people of Indian origin to be featured on the cover page of Time magazine

Although I can see how this list could be interesting, I do not see evidence of third-party coverage of the topic to confer notability on this list. I must conclude that this is a "non-encyclopedic cross-categorization", as listed at what Wikipedia is not. Orlady (talk) 20:42, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Lists should be discouraged; this one in particular is not worth having. Timneu22 (talk) 23:19, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - while lists should not be discouraged (see WP:CLN), this particular list is trivial. Otto4711 (talk) 23:36, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Yes, it is interesting as trivia. No, it does not meet Wikipedia article standards. Ecoleetage (talk) 23:53, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This is the classic indiscriminate list, with no details about any of the persons on the list other than that they were (a) on the cover of an issue of TIME and (b) of Indian origin.  The only item of interest is the "unknown Dalit woman who carries human excreta on her head as a means of livelihood" and has been on the cover of TIME magazine, two things that I'm certain that I will never accomplish.

 * Delete per WP:LC items 2, 5, 8, and 9. Stifle (talk) 15:48, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
