[edit] Cultural icon

Page consists of 1) a vague and POV paragraph that doesn't contain any useful or relevant information, 2) a list of arbitrarily selected historical figures considered important, together with a possible copyvio from VH1 of dubious importance and notability. why should we be especially interested in VH1's opinions, as opposed to any other source? I can see no way this article can be usefully rewritten, page should be deleted as inherent POV and a redirect created to another page which probably covers what this article is trying to get at in a more sustainable way (please suggest) Jdcooper 09:32, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

• Comment, furthermore, pretty much anybody you can name is some kind of cultural icon to someone, as shown by some of the figures that people have added which have been removed (arbitrarily). This is unsalvageably subjective. Jdcooper 11:20, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
