[edit] List of Norwegian-Americans

What does having Norwegian ancestry have to do with these peoples occupations? Arniep 01:07, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy keep WP:POINT, bad faith nomination. --FuriousFreddy 01:29, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as unmanageable list, no reliable criteria. Jtmichcock 03:04, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy keep; the nominator's rationale for deleting each and every 'Americans by ethnicity' list can't possibly be valid. There's perfectly good reasons for keeping those lists on WP---easy-to-find overviews of Americans of non-English descent, with one-liner information on each person (just looking at the category pages won't give you that). --Wernher 03:50, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy keep, WP:POINT -- Jake 08:19, 18 November 2005 (UTC) (who happens to be 3/4ths Norwegian)
• Keep while all lists of this type (lists of ethnicities) still exist.Ancheta Wis 09:08, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

• Strong Keep, What is the point of deleting this?? Keep all ethnicity lists.--Jondel 09:30, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
