List of alleged contactees

List of alleged contactees (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

We already have a category Category:Contactees. That's as it should be, because what goes in the category is decided by each article so categorrised. A list like this is a problem as it is unreferenced and thus a potential WP:BLP nightmare. Best to delete this and leave the category. -Doc 10:35, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - this article list alleged UFO contactees based on their own articles, so I am not sure why this is a bad article, its a great place for those interested to get a list of alleged contactees (note i created this article on) (:O) -Nima Baghaei 12:51, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
It is unneccessary. The same information can be obtained by the Category:Contactees. And your article doesn't have any citation to defend inclusion, whereas people are added to the category by categorising the articles themselves, which doubtless are cited.--Doc 13:06, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
