The World’s 10 Worst Dictators

 * Delete not formated correct, no external links, list not notable enough to have a page, etc...-Jersey Devil 04:23, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with Dictator. . Delete. Everything is present at List of dictators. utcursch | talk 04:37, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. By definition of "worst dictators", page could never meet WP:NPOV. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 05:06, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per utcursch, EWS23 -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 05:09, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is just a magazine article and Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. –Sommers (Talk) 05:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to The World's 10 Worst Dictators where the 2005 and 2004 lists are mentioned. (it looks like the same title but with a different type of apostrophe?? %E2%80%99 instead of %27 in the adress. I dont know how that works) -- Astrokey44 |talk 05:28, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete and redirect to the The World's 10 Worst Dictators page, I've added the 2006 list to that article. -Canley 09:52, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect (don't delete) to retain attribution to original contributor. - Mgm|(talk) 11:42, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete The article appears arbitary, with no justification for the nomination of each dictator. The list appears to be subjective and as such fails the WP:NPOV criteria.   (aeropagitica)   17:04, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect w/o delete per Mgm. Youngamerican 18:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. See also The World's Most Benevolent Dictator. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 20:12, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete ubless we also have The world's 10 best dictarors -Doc  ask?  20:46, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, but rename to make it clear that this is reporting on the People magazine list and not endorsing its decisions (which would violate WP:NPOV). This is a notable list compiled annually by a major national newsmagazine. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 20:51, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to The World's 10 Worst Dictators. And on what planet is Parade (not People) "a major national newsmagazine"? --Calton | Talk 00:28, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - unless balanced out by an article on World's 10 Best Dictators. --Gene_poole 04:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as POV. &mdash;Brim 05:37, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment if this thing gets kept, it's going to need some serious work, since it's full of mistakes and typos; e.g., "Niyezov of Turkmanistan" should actually be "Saparmurat Niyazov of Turkmenistan." Ergot 15:51, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete about as useful as the 100 best songs by any number of radio stations that get deleted from time to time. Carlossuarez46 21:37, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
