List of Christian entertainers

Delete Unless these people make people laugh at the pew......delete. 65.9.143.76 23:45, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You should maybe learn the templates for verify and cleanup. That said this list is very broad and not too deep. So I'm abstaining for now unless sockpuppeting delete votes proliferate.--T. Anthony 09:22, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:31, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
No vote: the anonymous nominator's point might be that the title is ambiguous, that it might be interpreted as "People who entertain Christians" which, technically, could be anyone (as an "entertainer" might have fans of any faith, and not even know it). — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 17:46, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The title is in line with other lists, so that's not really an issue. However, it's still listcruft. Delete way too big and unmaintainable, difficult to verify in many cases, and anyway, who cares? Unless their Christianity affects their entertainment content, it's just as irrelevant as their shoe size. —Wahoofive (talk) 22:25, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete From the looks of it this list only presents entertainers who are Catholic and not entertainers who entertain by involvement of Catholicism...therefore this list is pointless. Antidote 23:05, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete almost as stupid as List of white people StabRule 23:42, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep due to suspected sockpuppetry of StabRule, nom and others. (See my comment here) Peyna 00:45, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or tighten the criteria. Looking through the list, I found most of the articles made no mention of the person’s faith. It seems the list was made with a very low threshold hold of what constitutes a Christian. The result could almost be called ‘ a list of none-Jewish actors’ and is about as useful as a something like a list people who drive Japanese cars. Seano1 01:09, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rewrite- if this is a list of entertainers who happen to be roughly Christian by religion, I'd say strong delete. But a list of people in 'Christian entertainment', or entertainers who have used their celebrity status to promote their faith would seem to have some validity. The criteria should be that they are notable for being Christians and for being enertainers.--Doc ^ask? 02:02, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is probably a good idea. Tuth be told as this list stands I think it's very weirdly put together and I'd actually consider delete, but if it could fixed on those lines keep.(No vote for now)--T. Anthony 02:31, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. We need more like this, not less. -- JJay 17:42, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Out of control list. Models and athletes are entertainers? Why not just have a list of notable people who happen to be Christian? -- Dalbury^(Talk) 02:31, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and edit for relevance per Doc glasgow. Durova 20:03, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I worked on that. Delete might have been easier, but I think this is going either keep or no concensus. As it stands now most names should be relevant to the topic.--T. Anthony 16:48, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Should we also start to list Italian plumbers? Jewish accountants? French dentists? --Bachrach44 16:49, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still not against deletion, but could people point me to where the List of dentists and List of plumbers are at Wiki? The horror at making more lists related to them I've noticed is discussed often at delete votes, but I have no idea where the originals are. I'll check Wikipedia:List of lists I guess.--T. Anthony 17:12, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Can't find them, but I'll start one on dentists and see how it works out.--T. Anthony 17:18, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The dentist one almost kind of works. I considered doing a plumber one, but it wouldn't work and would be going too far anyway.--T. Anthony 06:05, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
