Inclusion criteria

[edit]

As stated at Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists, Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Adding individual items to a list:-

  1. All lists must have clearly defined inclusion criteria
  2. Every entry should meet the notability criteria for its own article. Red-linked entries are acceptable if the entry is verifiably a member of the list, and it is reasonable to expect an article could be forthcoming in the future. This prevents indiscriminate lists, and prevents individual lists from being too large to be useful to readers.
  3. Editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists by only including entries for independently notable items or those with Wikipedia articles.
  4. All list entries must follow Wikipedia's core content policies of Verifiability (by citing reliable sources as references), No original research, and Neutral point of view

This list fails most of these requirements in that:-

  • There are no clearly defined inclusion criteria
  • Many of the entries are not "verifiably a member of the list" in that they have neither an article nor a reference
  • As per the above rules, all redlinks, without a citation, should be removed
  • Redlinks with a citation, should only remain if it is "reasonable to expect an article could be forthcoming". (although how this can/should be assessed is unclear)
  • Personally, I would like to avoid this indeterminable criteria and "limit the list to entries with a Wikipedia articles", and delete all redlinks - as point 3 above and most other similar lists - but that is a matter for consensus.
  • I invite comments on the elimination of all redlinks, but will remove redlinks, without citations, as per the above rationale
  • If there are no reasoned objections, say within 3 months, I will remove the remaining redlinks - Arjayay (talk) 16:46, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
