[edit] Top 10 Archive

Not really a well-defined topic.. not encyclopedic. Also misnamed. Rhobite 00:06, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. No encyclopedic content. RickK 00:09, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not needed, information is already in other articles. Somebody in the WWW 00:35, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Some sections are subjective, some are meaningless without date. Some sections, like tall buildings may live on their own, however without this stupid "top 10". Does 11th not worth mentioning? Mikkalai 00:52, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as trivia with no context. Wyss 03:17, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. A brief list of informative, verifiable sourced lists. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 04:05, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Xezbeth 06:08, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Some lists like "Best Earning Actresses" need to have dates added (what year are we talking about), but most lists are verifiable and interesting. I'm pretty sure the tallest building list is a duplicate, though. Merge lists where appropriate and delete redirect. Mgm|^(talk) 08:55, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. What Wikipedia articles are not: "Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics." The individual lists may have homes within other articles, and should be copied over if appropriate, but this collection is not encyclopedic. iMeowbot~Mw 10:53, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 01:46, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, lists are encyclopedic and oh so cool. Salazar 02:48, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • User joined Jan 9 2005.
• Delete, collections of trivia are not encyclopaedic. --fvw* 03:19, 2005 Jan 11 (UTC)
• Delete. Copyvio and lists aren't good subject matter anyway. --Deathphoenix 03:21, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Enough lists. —Ben Brockert (42) 06:04, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete -- DCEdwards1966 20:33, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This is WP, not David Letterman. Carrp 00:09, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
