List of politicians of Croatian ancestry

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Created back in 2006, completely unreferenced since at least April 2011. Seems to fail WP:N, WP:V, and especially WP:NOTDIRECTORY, rule #7.  Timbouctou ( talk ) 18:47, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Even if it was sourced, I don't see how being a politician AND being of Croatian ancestry is notable.  Lugnuts  (talk) 07:22, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I think I agree with the nom, at least in substance. The Croation descent categories are subdivided by the individual's nationality, which makes sense. Subdividing by occupation, less so, because it seems arbitrary to lump together anyone of Croation ancestry who became a politician, regardless of where in the world that happened. That information isn't unverifiable, but I would expect that grouping to be notable as it is not an obvious indexing method, thus making the NOTDIR #7 criticism applicable here--unencyclopedic cross-categorization, or trivia. So delete, in the absence of any good argument I can see to keep this kind of list. postdlf (talk) 13:55, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I kind of agree with the WP:NOTDIRECTORY one. Too many lists on Wikipedia. And some of these people are not directly of Croatian ancestry while others don't even have an article for themselves. Bleubeatle (talk) 07:42, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
