List of people who have had plastic surgery
Subjective and crufty orphaned list that will never be anywhere near complete, impossible to maintain, currently contains just 7 people, and is a POV magnet. Was tagged for proposed deletion, but tag removed. Listcruft = delete   Proto    ||    type    10:26, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete cruft-o-rama. A list of Hollywood stars over the age of 30 who have not has plastic surgery would be more pertinent. Just zis Guy you know? 11:00, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete for reasons self-evident. Danny Lilithborne 11:48, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Impossible too maintain, way too broad a topic. No apparent criteria. 23skidoo 14:45, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per JzG. Chris Chan.talk.contribs 21:29, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment just the natural byproduct of our keeping List of people speculated to have been syphilitic and People speculated to have been autistic, etc. Perhaps we should just rename it to List of people speculated to have had plastic surgery and all would be well (as I thought might be permitted under WP's loose with the facts regime; see my comment on) .

 * Keep. I've spot-checked four of the references provided and they all seem quite reasonable. References seem to have been in place since the article was created. Hopefully the editors will keep the article on their watchlist and make sure that only items meeting the verifiability policy are included. Provided the list is kept honest with respect to verifiability, I see no reason to delete this, even though I think it's silly, and even though I think a category would do just as well, and even though I will shed no tears if it is deleted. By the way I really like the Jamie Lee Curtis reference... check it out. If, over time, it deteriorates into a list of names that are mostly unaccompanied by references, it should be renominated for deletion at that time. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:10, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - is it churlish to point out that Jamie Lee Curtis had botox and liposuction (as confirmed in the reference), which are cosmetic surgery, and not plastic surgery?   Proto    ||    type    12:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: As a side note, cosmetic surgery currently redirects to plastic surgery. Perhaps cosmetic surgery merits its own article? Kurieeto 13:56, 12 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Mentions of a few examples in the main article are enough. Golfcam 04:00, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Regarding issues of speculation, the article was always intended to be entirely referenced with claims of the noteworthy people themselves acknowledging that they have indeed had plastic/cosmetic surgery. This would address any issues of maintnance, POV, and subjectivity cited as reasons for deletion.  Also it is not that all individuals with plastic surgery in the world should be on this list, only those who merit a Wikipedia article and have acknowledged that indeed they have had this procedure.  This is all outlined in the initial paragraph of the article.  Perhaps a better article title would be List of people who have claimed to have had plastic surgery.


 * If in plastic surgery we can list people who have had it done to them, I don't see why a seperate article list, fully referenced, does not belong. Additionally we have a list of people with breast implants.  The subjects of both of these articles are surgical procedures.  Again, if fully referenced and details for inclusion are made more clear, such as moving to list of people who have claimed to have had plastic surgery, I don't see why this should be deleted.
