Non-notable, possibly copyvio. cf. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/200 Greatest Israelis. List articles that simply reproduce lists published elsewhere are non-notable. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:59, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep These lists are very useful for finding very notable biographies.♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:43, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. First, I note that at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/100 Welsh Heroes, the closer of the AfD to which the nom points objected to nom's use of his close as precedent. He wrote: "No blanket declaration about the inherent notability of such lists was made, or even implied, in my closing statement [1].... And I don't know how much clearer I could have been that copyright issues were not considered as a factor in that close."

Second, it is clear as discussed at the Israeli AfD that there is not any copyvio. In addition, nom's last sentence is simply inapplicable. As to notability, I agree with Blofield. I also note (as wp:otherstuffexists permits) that we have thousands of lists of people from country x (or city y, or college z), which weren't even the results of polls -- just collections that random editors chose -- and this certainly has greater indicia of notability than such lists.

Finally, I note that at the 2-dozen-odd AfDs that nom made of the same ilk most commentators are expressing keen disagreement with nom's parallel nominations. The AfDs, which are running concurrently with this one, can be found at most of the national poll results reflected here.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:32, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I doubt a state TV channel would be infringing copyright; anyway that's not our business, the list is notable, so was the program. Diego talk 13:42, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note to closer, this AfD is not transcluded in the AfD Log. I am adding it now. Please consider the failure to transclude when deciding when to close this discussion. Monty ₈₄₅ 20:29, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
