List of people with dual American and German citizenship

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY #6: Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations. No evidence this has been discussed in multiple reliable sources as an encyclopedic topic. The scope of this topic may also be too wide to be useful, per WP:SALAT. SST flyer  14:15, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:SALAT. The complete list would be far too large to be useful. The American diaspora article states that there are over 100,000 Americans living in Germany; I know that not all those people hold dual citizenship, but it should give people a sense of how expansive this list could be. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 09:31, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * How many have articles? Because that's the only number that's relevant to lists of this kind. postdlf (talk) 23:22, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * We don't delete list for the sole reason for being very large. If need be we'll just split it up into various categories like it's been done at List of African Americans.--Prisencolin (talk) 23:44, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * and, you both raise compelling points and I have struck my delete vote accordingly. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 03:29, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep no valid reason for removal. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 21:08, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - As SSTflyer notes above, this fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY #6. Shelbystripes (talk) 14:58, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as directory-type list, no indication that this is a notable intersection of characteristics.  Sandstein   11:38, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as still nothing to suggest its own convincing article, best mentioned somewhere else as a whole. SwisterTwister   talk  21:05, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
