[edit] American political commentators
Restored from an expired prod deletion, which had the reason given "unannotated list, unnecessary with categories, fails WP:BLP", which is all still true. We shouldn't create lists of people in potentially controversial categories without a single reference. And the article should stand on it's own, so there may be references that can be pulled from the individual's articles. However, as I'm semi-involved I'm abstaining Steve (Stephen) talk 02:52, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as an unnecessary list -- we already have plenty of categories to cover this list's content; therefore, the list is redundant. The lack of annotations and failure of WP:BLP are only further reasons to delete the list. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 03:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Unmaintainable. And separating by liberal or conservative is asking for trouble. - Richfife 04:21, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, potentially huge, made redundant by categories and also has BLP issues Hut 8.5 08:59, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Unmainatainable, and unclear as to purpose. Political commentators who are American, or commentators on American politics? Emeraude 12:32, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
