Non-notable, possibly copyvio. cf. Articles for deletion/200 Greatest Israelis. List articles that simply reproduce lists published elsewhere are non-notable. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:58, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep These lists are very useful for finding very notable biographies.♦ Dr. Blofeld  22:41, 9 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. First, I note that at Articles for deletion/100 Welsh Heroes, the closer of the AfD to which the nom points objected to nom's use of his close as precedent.  He wrote: "No blanket declaration about the inherent notability of such lists was made, or even implied, in my closing statement .... And I don't know how much clearer I could have been that copyright issues were not considered as a factor in that close."


 * Second, it is clear as discussed above at the Israeli AfD that there is not any copyvio. In addition, nom's last sentence is simply inapplicable.  As to notability, I agree with Blofield.  I also note (as wp:otherstuffexists permits) that we have thousands of lists of people from country x (or city y, or college z), which weren't even the results of polls -- just collections that random editors chose -- and this certainly has greater indicia of notability than such lists.


 * Finally, I note that at the 2-dozen-odd AfDs that nom made of the same ilk most commentators are expressing keen disagreement with nom's parallel nominations. The AfDs, which are running concurrently with this one, can be found at most of the national poll results reflected here.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:31, 10 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep just as for the others.Not copyvio, as has been clearly explained above. There is no policy against these lists, and the assertion of the nom does not make policy   DGG ( talk ) 16:08, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Note to closer, this AfD is not transcluded in the AfD Log. I am adding it now. Please consider the failure to transclude when deciding when to close this discussion. Monty  845  20:29, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - A discriminate list of notable people. No copyright violations whatsoever. A useful list for Wikipedia. Northamerica1000 (talk) 12:18, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep No policy violated. The list groups things that are related towards one another, and links to articles for those people listed here.   D r e a m Focus  19:54, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Not a single CopyVio as far as I can see, this meets the qualifications for WP:List. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 17:46, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
