[edit] Pakistan Earthquake Casualties List
I'm not quite sure where this belongs. It should be somewhere, yes, but not on Wikipedia. Any suggestions? DS 13:09, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- Reluctant delete. You're talking about a list that could in theory exceed 40,000 names. Unmaintainable. Also the current wording seems to suggest POV and that the creator is trying to start some sort of victim blog which violates WP:NOT. 23skidoo 13:52, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- Strong delete. WP:NOT a memorial. --Last Malthusian 14:31, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as per 23skidoo. *drew 16:02, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Wikipedia is not a memorial. --Carnildo 22:32, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- Respectfully Delete. There is also a practical reason to delete: we simply cannot verify the names in this list, and the risk of error is high. An official/Ngo website would be a good place for such a list. --Vsion 23:15, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete WP is not a memorial, and there is an incredible verifiability problem also. Xoloz 15:36, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. While the seriousness of the topic makes it more than listcruft, unlike List of red-haired British surgeons or whatever, it clearly cannot be a Wikipedia article. MCB 22:01, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
