 * Speedy delete as apparent, and still no assertion of notability. DMacks 20:05, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: The reason I created this article was that there were about 50 dead links pointing towards it. So obviously all the other authors of those articles think it's worthwhile mentioning...
 * And the fact that even the BBC reported on it, even though it was a show by their competitor, leads me to believe that this was not just another "best of" show, but something with a bit more weight. --Frescard 00:40, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Is it really surprising that a list of 50 well-known people (notable enough to have wiki pages) is linked from about 50 wiki pages? And even if it were 10K pages, WP isn't just a self-referential asylum. The article itself really needs an explicit explanation of the selection and why it's notable, not just a listing with some un-explained refs. If it's cast as a list of people selected by peers, it might be notable enough and distanced enough from "some TV show" to survive.DMacks 02:11, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
