List of smokers
Unmaintainably huge list with little encyclopedic value. Something like one out of three people in North America smokes right now; a century ago probably virtually every historical figure smoked cigars or a pipe. Delete. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 02:01, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per TenOfAllTrades. This is an impossible list. --Apyule 02:26, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete -- unmaintainable list. People decide to smoke/not smoke on the whim of a moment. I do anyway :/ - Longhair | Talk 02:29, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --Alan Au 02:32, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, per above. -- BD2412 talk 03:02, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, per above. Dottore So 04:04, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete—Vast and ephemeral. --Tysto 04:05, 2005 August 15 (UTC)
 * Delete, although I could see a use for something like List of iconic smokers (bad name, but hopefully someone can think of a better one), for people like Churchill, Castro, etc, for whom smoking is clearly a recognised part of their public image. Grutness...  wha?  05:23, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. Unmaintainable. Sjakkalle (Check!)  08:36, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete after moving iconic smokers to the new List of Iconic smokers. A very nice idea, nice title too, Grutness. It would be nice to have some peculiarities of their smoking habits there. Like Bill Clinton's. -- Zanaq 11:26, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, per above. &mdash; Trilobite (Talk) 16:46, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, even though it's inconsistent with List of Roman Catholics being kept. Martg76 22:35, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, after moving per Grutness' suggestion, altho Clinton wasn't exactly known for smoking those cigars. :) Caerwine 02:09, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. Alex.tan 03:02, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
