[edit] Famous automobile accidents

WP is not a repository of lists, and this list will never be comprehensive nor complete, and "famous" is automatically in danger of being POV. Master Thief Garrett 07:10, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

• Obvious redirect to List of people who died in road accidents--nixie 07:11, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with List of people who died in road accidents. There are some new names on this list. Sjakkalle 07:29, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, POV - criteria for inclusion not defined, unmaintainable list. Megan1967 07:34, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Would you want to see the "List of..." deleted too in that case? Master Thief Garrett 08:07, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I would say that "Has an article in Wikipedia" is an OK criterion for inclusion. Sjakkalle 09:31, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: It's a list under the name of something else. How could one discuss "famous automobile accidents?" Well, you'd establish that they're famous, that they're accidents, and that they involve cars, and that they might or might not result in death (so Dylan's chopper crash is out). After that, you'd have...a list. (sigh) Unsearchable, inherently POV. Geogre 11:25, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with List of people who died in road accidents. Interesting encyclopedic topic. Capitalistroadster 11:57, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

• Merge as per Sjakkalle. RickK 21:35, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Definitely merge and redirect. -Sean Curtin 01:28, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with the previous topic, and with famous motorcycle accidents, famous boat accidents and similar. Radiant_* 11:06, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
