Tens of thousands of people have owned slaves over the history of humanity. Let's keep it shorter.
This list is obviously only for notable slave owners (otherwise it would be against Wikipedia policy). Plus, it says "notable" right in the lead section. No confusion. --brian0918™ 01:39, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
what the...? this is much like a List of people who were married, for substantial periods of history. Let's vfd it, this is leading nowhere. dab (ᛏ) 29 June 2005 08:26 (UTC)
- Yeah, but only notable people who were married... :-) --Uppland 29 June 2005 08:45 (UTC)
- If we can have a list of notable people who were slaves, it seems like we should also be able to have a list of notable people who were slave owners. Besides, since when has list length been a problem for Wikipedia? Too many trees wasted? --brian0918™ 29 June 2005 13:11 (UTC)
