List of philosophers and scientists

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Prod declined in August 2008. Despite the broad-encompassing title, it appears the original intent of this article was for it to be a list of philosophers and scientists from Turkey, but at some point it was converted into a dab page. The original intent is, to me, an odd intersection of three otherwise notable subjects that is redundant with Category:Turkish scientists and Category:Turkish philosophers, while the dab page incarnation does not list articles of the same title. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 16:28, 17 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete The title only makes sense when it is a combined list, as a dab to two separate lists it is utterly useless. Yoenit (talk) 17:52, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete A case of creating an ambiguity in order to have a page to cure the ambiguity. It's analogous to having a "list of apples and oranges" that has links to "list of apples" and "list of oranges".  Mandsford 18:59, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete philosophers and scientists are two distinct concepts; there is no reason to combine them.— Chris! c / t 19:06, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
