Wikipedia Members whose relatives have known Lenin
Vanity. Denni &#9775; 02:03, 2005 May 21 (UTC)
 * As vanity goes it's rather interesting though. Delete. --W(t) 02:09, 2005 May 21 (UTC)
 * Delete, family vanity, unverifiable. Megan1967 02:43, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete it because if it is kept we could have hundreds of pages for Wikipedia members whose relatives knew other historical figures. Crotalus horridus 02:46, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I tagged this for a speedy (per a very short article[] with little or no context), but apparently no one noticed or agreed with me... Delete. I can only imagine the ramifications of allowing an article like this to remain. List of Wikipedians who are exactly six degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon, List of Wikipedians who have met at least one President, List of Wikipedians who bumped into James Woods at the mall... android&harr;talk 03:22, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * LOL. Try this one: List of Wikipedians who have voted, through three separate VfDs, to keep the Brandenn Bremmer article C W Merchant 00:46, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Can someone explain to me why administrators are not allowed to apply Common Sense and speedy these? There might not be anything explicitly covering these, and borderline cases may be an issue, but I look at this article and the borders are miles away. Chris talk back 04:26, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Because not even all administrators trust all sysops with the power of speedy deletion. Meelar (talk) 06:44, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * I would have speedied --nixie 04:49, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I know Lenin. He made me a meatball sub at Subway the other day. Delete. 23skidoo 05:43, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as vanity.   &mdash; J I P | Talk 05:46, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agree with the above. I also doubt it could be maintained and verified. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 07:29, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Merely knowing Lenin is not a reason for notability. Being a relative of someone who knew Lenin even less so. Sjakkalle 08:45, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete prattery--Doc Glasgow 10:57, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Which Lenin are they talking about ? The Russian Leader or the one in my class . --IncMan 12:10, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete at an absolute minimum, this (and most potential additions to it) would be unverifiable. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 12:37, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and flog the user who created it. &mdash; Phil Welch 20:54, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, or userfy. Dpbsmith (talk) 23:52, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: I must have missed this when it was tagged. Since we're all related, somewhere and somehow, all Wikipedia's members relatives include Lenin (and Lenon, and the Czar).  Geogre 02:40, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wow, completely idiosyncratic non-topic, vanity, no potential to become encyclopedic, original research. Not everyday you get all four in the same article. JYolkowski // talk 15:30, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This was a stupid idea on my part sorry for the inconveniance this caused Klingoncowboy4
 * Well, what can I say --IncMan 01:36, May 23, 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete - So couple of my relatives supposedly lived in the same town Lenin was rumored to have visited. So what? - Skysmith 07:48, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Someone call Ratification has just added themselves to the oviously unpopular and about to be deleted list... klingoncowboy4
