[edit] List of MTVers

Huh? As far as I can tell, this is some sort of list of people are part of the 'MTV Generation'. Bottom line, it seems to be original reasearch (at the very least) on the part of whoever decided these people should be on the same list. Delete --InShaneee 04:33, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, unless author or someone else wants to define 'MTVer.' - CorbinSimpson 04:35, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Maybe if there was a source to cite, and this was an article about famous people who are closely tied to MTV... or something like that... but right now it's just a just a list of celebrities born from 1977 to 1984, and it's already covered in the articles devoted to those years, for anyone who's interested. --W.marsh 05:20, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and Merge with MTV Generation article, I think the author perhaps created this list without realising it would be of much more use to integrate it within the MTV Gen article itself. I don't think the author intended to define these celebrities as MTVers but as people who grew up from the MTV Generation. Piecraft 01:11, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

• Comment please explain to me the necessity or encyclopedic value of List of Generation Xers? If this list is deleted I vote to delete the List of Generation Xers as well seeing as it is not truly a necessary list, as everything described by the nominator of this AfD is perhaps even more so relevant in regards to that list i.e. Bottom line, it seems to be original reasearch (at the very least) on the part of whoever decided these people should be on the same list, and it's already covered in the articles devoted to those years, for anyone who's interested.

• Comment: The difference between the GenX article and this one is that the GenX article makes a decent attempt to define the criteria needed for inclusion into the article. The MTVers article just has a list of celebrities. If the author were to write out the criteria for inclusion into the article, then I would change my vote to keep. - CorbinSimpson 18:05, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and Merge with MTV Generation article r430nb 12/24 If I change the title to Famous people born from the MTV Generation or something of the like, would it change anything? The purpose is to educate the public about those born in between Generation X and Y, which is a separate generation in itself. It's only fair since Generation X and Y have their own similar pages.

comment the point is that there are no sources for this info, wikipedia is not a fourm for your ideas-Fabhcún 21:37, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, actually Speedy deletion. What the hell is a MTVer?? I don't see any use for this article. If this crap stays, you'll soon start seeing VH1ers, and BETers, and CNNers, and ABCers, and NBCers, etc. | QzDaddy 01:50, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Look at the way this guy is talking. r430nb

• Keep, but merge with MTV Generation - MTVers is a bad name for this article --User:Carie 21:38, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
• After seeing the improvements made to the article, and the denotations clearly listed, I change my vote to keep. However, we should strongly consider whether 'List of MTVers' is the best name for this article... - CorbinSimpson 03:09, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
