List of people who changed the world greatly

I'm sure there's a multitude of reasons why this should be deleted, but for now I'll stick with inherent POV. This appears to have been moved into User:ImpalerBugz's user space, but was moved back; hence I'm listing it here. —Xezbeth 14:35, May 3, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete near-exact copy of article recently deleted (actually userfied) and apparently recreated or moved back. We were urged to go easy because author is a teenager. While I do value our younger contributors, I don't think they should be held to any less a standard regarding article retention than the rest of us. This should be deleted, whether the author is 6, 16, 60, or 106. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:35, May 3, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Agreed. Saw the move a few hours ago and my heart sank. This could be named "List of people an American twelve-year-old can be expected to have read about and been impressed by" and it would still not be encyclopedic. If he can't keep it in his userspace, it should be deleted. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 16:14, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. not only it is extremely POV but it is also an article list doing the job of a category without bringing any added value whatsoever. 2x delete. --Mecanismo 20:34, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, maybe speedy delete as recreated content. Didn't this go through VfD recently? In any case, inherently POV. --Carnildo 21:59, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, still misguided. Gazpacho 22:33, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, for POV, and I take personal offense at the suggestion that no "Y's" have affected the world :) 141.211.138.85 00:07, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Can you name one? (LOL) Kappa
    • Besides myself :), Chuck Yeager, Brigham Young, William Bulter Yeats, Yogi the Bear...
• Delete. Not remotely encyclopedic. — Trilobite (Talk) 23:16, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Including Jimmy Wales was a nice bit of flattery though. FreplySpang (talk) 23:20, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Delete POV, alphabetized by first name, useless. Howabout1 00:25, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
