Famous born again christians[edit]

Unmanageable, subjective, and unverified list. NawlinWiki 21:14, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm not even certain that "born-again Christians" would be a good category. Certainly it doesn't work as a WP:LIST. Shalom ^Hello 21:16, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete as with most such lists, they are interesting but 1) incomplete at best 2) terribly biased to the present 3) impossible to maintain 4) not appropriate for an encyclopedia. In addition, the lack of any sources makes this an egregious WP:BLP violation. Bigdaddy1981 21:42, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Born-again Christian is an incredibly subjective term. Even if it wasn't, it falls under WP:NOT#DIR and is impossible to maintain per all the reasons already stated. Trusilver 21:49, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm a Christian, but I agree with the statements above. I think this list is maintained elsewhere. God only knows who belongs on the list, literally. Mandsford 02:24, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unsourced article that, in addition to Bigdaddy1981's comments, is also 5) terribly biased towards United States Protestants, 6) does not even state its criteria for inclusion (being known as born again and being born again are different matters), and 7) even if it were encyclopedic, does nothing that a category would not. In addition, without sources, one does not know which Michael Jones or Phillip Johnson is the supposed born-again Christian, which could be a massive BLP problem if one of the Michael Joneses or Phillip Johnsons were insulted by being referred to as 'born again'. --Charlene 05:09, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom; for potentially huge lists, categories are better; I also question whether born again Christians is sufficiently definable or objective to have such a category; if kept "famous" should be removed, because if you aren't famous you shouldn't be listed anyway, and Christians capitalized per norms of spelling.
