List of people predominantly seen wearing sunglasses


A list, of which two entries are cited (and one more is probably unambiguous given that Roy Orbison's biographers tell the story of the sunglasses). But really, is the topic of people who are ususally seen wearing shades encyclopaedic? If so, is it encyclopaedic enough to support a list? Anyway, what constitutes sunglasses? Any tinted spectacles? If so tha Galaghers are in, but so are half the people who achieved fame in the 70s. In the end I think this is too random a subject. Guy 14:54, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Listcruft with no clear criteria. Caknuck 15:00, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Agreed that it is much too random. The blind people in it hardly count as their glasses are medical whilst other such as Jon Bon Jovi are seen all the time without sunglasses. Maybe merge a little bit of it into the sunglasses article (such as a section like 'Iconic sunglasses wearers' or something) but otherwise delete. Keresaspa 15:04, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. original research, unverifiable, etc.  How are you going to define "predominantly" from a neutral point of view? Chick Bowen 15:58, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete When I was young I had to wear sunglasses for medical reasons, but this is clearly not referring to people with rare eye defects. It's just about a fashion choice and those can change pretty fast.--T. Anthony 16:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as unmaintainable and absurd. The possible parent list List of people predominantly seen wearing clothes would have been a funnier joke. :) Xoloz 16:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Or how about List of people predominantly seen not wearing clothes? JChap2007 18:55, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per obvious problems with "predominantly seen" and general lack of encyclopedic value. JChap2007 18:55, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete.This unreferenced list originally cluttered Sunglasses. It took up over 50% of the article, so I moved it here and set up the layout hoping to make it easy for references to be added by those who did care. Those who have contributed to the list don't seem able to make it comply with WP:V, so get rid of it. As above, the list does not appear to be maintainable and "predominantly" is POV. -AED 23:17, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just daft. --Wareq 07:46, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete indiscriminate. Ohconfucius 04:45, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
