Delete - an indiscriminate and highly subjective list with no standardized criteria for inclusion. What constitutes becoming "famous" after death? Otto4711 09:34, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is a very, very fascinating and informative list. It isn't nearly as subjective as many people have stated. It is just the type of page Wikipedia needs. — Jordangg40 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
keep As one of the main editors of this list, but not it's originator, I found the list had potential but at the time I found it, it was totally pointless, subjective, & filled with original research & POV entries. I developed some guidelines to help make a "cutoff point" for fame to make it more objective & also debated the word "in". The aspects which came out of it are:
The debate over the word "in" is also in the discussion area. "In" could mean "because of" & it could simply mean "in the state of", which covers both those who's means death was the reason for fame as well as those who were only posthumously famous.
I had every itent of making this a meaningful list after coming upon it in it's horrible state. Those were attempts to put guides on it to make sure it was a useful & consice list. I do think it has a meaningful purpose & I found it because it partially filled the thing I was looking for. So please, this is not a list for deletion but cleanup & refinement. Some greater objective criteria needs to be put up. The originator refused any attempts to write out criteria, but I really think it needs some. My proposed criteria are right there for scrutiny & discussion. --Duemellon 15:19, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
