Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Ukrainian Americans

Concerning all of the "List of XXX Americans" nominations

• Speedily keep all, close discussions. It is extremely non-productive to nominate this many similar articles all at once. Even a concerned editor cannot realistically review and comment on several dozen articles at once. Either the practice of making this kind of list should be allowed or it should be banned. The list of German Americans that was deleted should not stand for a precedent, and if we decide to keep it that article should be restored too. This kind of large policy matter is best decided at the policy level, not by piecemeal deletions. That guarantees inconsistent results and a very messy encyclopedia.Wikidemo 22:45, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
• AGREED If it hasn't already, this should be brought up at WP:Administrators noticeboard/Incidents. Noroton 23:02, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete This should be a category not an article. MrMurph101 19:19, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose Doesn't fit the parameters for WP for deletion --Bandurist 20:21, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep, The rationale for deletion given in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of German Americans was WP:NOT#DIR. So these lists below should also be deleted if we want to be consistent:

List of Japanese writers, List of sociologists, List of mayors of Toronto, List of political parties, List of members of the Riksdag, 2006-2010, List of liberal theorists, List of male performers in gay porn films, List of male boxers, List of mayors of Ottawa, List of tall women, List of horror fiction writers, List of cellists, etc, etc. Martintg 20:29, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

• • Comment. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument. Smashville 21:37, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. Keep this, as well as all other list of citizens of USA by nationality. List is rich and informative. We aren't guilty that there're so many peoples on this world. At last, why do we have encyclopedias? Articles about so many things. Some things someone finds unimportant, but somebody other earns for living on those and makes millions of dollars out of that. In these lists, only the persons that are worth of mentioning should be there, not just "any man picked up from the street". At last, these info is useful. Do you know how many successful international business meetings and business cooperations (I mean all of them, from small shop and taxi cab events to statemen's meetings) began/became more appreciated, just because someone knew whome "belonged" certain "celebrity"?

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Ethnic groups-related deletions. —Noroton 22:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Nominator has pasted the same argument on all nominations, setting a "precedent" for the rest of us to mindlessly do so. It's sourced, and the only reason that it's being nominated is that some asshole thinks there's a "precedent" based on two articles. Hey, on the articles that have been kept, is that a precedent too?

• Delete This and All the Others for the exact reason that German Americans was deleted: WP:NOT#DIR. This is a potentially infinite list. Smashville 23:08, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
