List of top prize winners on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Completely unsourced list of trivia. Not one single reference in the article to classify it as anything other than original research. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and this article is merely an excessive listing of statistics and trivia. Sottolacqua (talk) 19:05, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. The article may lack references at the moment, but I've no doubt one could find national media coverage for a large majority of winners. I can't see that this list is more excessive than, say, University Challenge. EALacey (talk) 20:52, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
 * My final answer is keep, but try to remove those who lost on the last question. Plus, I am not the person who created this article.--It&#39;s my Junior year in High School! (talk) 01:57, 20 December 2009 (UTC)Chris
 * Lock in keep. Maybe there are not many references in this article, but I think the article is important as a part of WWTBAM project.
 * Keep - trivial in the wider context of world affairs, I agree, but significant in the context of the programme. This is a world-wide record of those who have achieved the ultimate goal of competing in what is, internationally, a hugely popular show. OTOH, I would find it much harder to justify in-depth national lists such as Milionerzy notable contestants. This is actually not OR since the content can be verified against recordings of the show though, editorially, it does need significant work on sourcing.

 * Keep - although it is a list, this list does not seem to exist in a reliable source outside of wikipedia, so it is useful. However I agree with removing the biggest prize losers, and Asen Angelov if a cite cannot be found. This list is not now OR as I have provided a few references, and I don't think it is indiscriminate as there are very strict criteria for inclusion. Martin 4 5 1  (talk) 08:07, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - useful list, part of a project, under construction, more reliable sources can be found. Bearian (talk) 15:41, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
