[edit] List of couples

List of couples (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-encyclopedic list, nonmaintainable. There are hundreds of thousands of couples of celebs `'Míkka 01:21, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. It's not a bad idea, but how can it have objective inclusion criteria? There's no universally agreed A-list of celebs. Incidentally, it came from a list of famous pairs that was deleted at AFD.--Chaser - T 01:30, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete although this list is over three years old it is not maintainable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zginder (talk • contribs)
• Delete. WP:NOT#IINFO. Why are Emilio & Gloria Estefan listed with Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse and Gilbert & George? There's a category called Category:Married couples, any articles about notable couples can be added to that. Crazysuit 01:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOT#INFO, and replace with a category if desired. Nenyedi • ^{(Deeds•Talk)} 02:26, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per list of loosely associated items. I do not think it is encyclopedic to document every who ever married or were in a relationship Corpx 04:09, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination, too generic to be meaningful. Yamaguchi先生 04:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. This is an indiscriminate list that could grow out of control. It could never be maintained and accurate (especially since celebrity marriages only last as long as a gallon of milk). Perhaps a category of some kind, but this article is just a collection of internal links. Useight 05:40, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete If it was more compactly defined, then maybe. Bulldog123 05:42, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - I don't believe I've ever seen an article that would be so difficult to maintain. If keeping the article updates was not an issue enough, the article is almost completely filled with internal links. TheInfinityZero 06:09, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - unless anyone would like to make a list of every human being alive to match. There are just too many couples. Zchris87v 06:28, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as unmaintainable, indiscriminate list per the arguments laid out in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of famous pairs. --Hnsampat 15:44, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unmaintainable and can never be up to date at any time.--PrestonH 19:17, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above, it says list of couples which it is wide open which would make it extremely listcruft and unmaintainble, if the article is about the List of famous couples probably the vote would have been different. But notable couples should be in a category only not in a listcruft article. JForget 01:25, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete due to the lack of objective criteria. If it were just a maintenance issue where we could never be assured the list might be complete, I might be inclined to vote otherwise. As it is, this list is not only problematic in that regard but is also an invitation to pointless edit wars over who is famous enough to be included. Erechtheus 03:57, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
