Titles related to socialist cults of personality

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is WP:LISTCRUFT. The list is arbitrary and does not meet WP:GNG. I can't find any references that specifically discuss titles related to socialist leaders of personality. The whole thing seems to be a case of original research. Tchaliburton (talk) 19:54, 7 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment At the one day point in any article which is a list of anything at all, it will, indeed, be "arbitrary." I am more concerned about the use of "socialist" in the name as not being necessarily borne out by the entries so far given,  GNG does not apply to lists of this type qua lists -  the notability should relate to whether titles of leaders can be found to be a distinct topic.  IMHO, such a list may well fit into the project.  Collect (talk) 21:35, 7 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment: Whatever the title of the list claims, this page's history suggests that it is meant as an attack on the Norwegian Labour Party. (Kim, Hitler, Mussolini, Brundtland, Gerhardsen: pick the odd ones out...) הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) 00:06, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The "history" is incredibly short, and content issues are always best handled on the article talk page.  Perhaps "Unusual titles for supreme leaders of nations or political organizations"   might be more apt - but that is not the same as deleting this list at the one day mark. Supreme leader is close - but the key is not just usual names for such persons,but ones of sufficient uniqueness as to be notable otherwise.   I retain my opinion that "socialist" is not reasonably included here, but that is not,initself, grounds for deletion.   Cheers. Collect (talk) 13:12, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete...or anything, really, just fix it. This whole area of Wikipedia is a shambles, with Honorific and English honorific vying with Title for the same subject matter, and this four-entry list of microscopically focused title and considerably wider COATRACK with only one citation surfing in on some fancy layout.

 * Note an AfD for an article with the same content by the same editor, Articles for deletion/List of socialist titles of honour. Anarchangel (talk) 23:46, 13 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete as original research. The topic itself does not demonstrate notability. Chillum 07:19, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
