Talk:List of shortest people

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm thinking of this as being more like List of tallest buildings in the world rather than like the deleted list. I hope that's okay. I'll let someone else do tallest though.--T. Anthony 16:17, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm thinking that Michael Dunn is the shortest adult to be nominated for an Oscar and Linda Hunt the shortest to win an Oscar. Unfortunately I can't find a source for either, but I might look later.--T. Anthony (talk) 08:35, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

I hope the "under 1 meter" deal doesn't expand it too much. I didn't really find that many people who fit. I hope it's restrictive enough that it's not seen as an attempt to make this like the "List of short men/women" that got deleted.--T. Anthony (talk) 11:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shortest for a reason

This was not "List of short humans" for a reason. We do not have lists of merely "short" things or beings as this is subjective. True this is not as clearcut as with "tall", see List of short place names, but generally seems preferred. For example the article Smallest organisms or List of shortest reigning monarchs of all time--T. Anthony (talk) 11:10, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] my recent edits

i added some height measurements for the world's smallest men, i got them while watching a documentary on channel 4 on the subject, the presenter (Mark Dolan) claimed to have got the names he investigated from this article (it showed him looking it up)Machete97 (talk) 23:01, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
