List of alleged contactees

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)
for a list, lacking citations is a taggable offence, not grounds for Afd. If it concerns you so much you may go to the individual articles and tag and simply cut and past the citations over. - perfectblue 14:48, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Sorry, BLP prohibits that. All negative assertions about a living person, which this is, need referenced in the article itself. Otherwise it would be too easy to add someone to the list without any citations and it not to be spotted. Still, I'm not hearing how this helps us when we have a category?--Doc 14:04, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
"BLP prohibits that. All negative assertions about a living person", being a contactee is not a "negative assertions" for most contactees, your statement is bias. Allegedly being in touch with aliens isn't like allegedly being ritually abused, its like allegedly kissing a supermodel for most of these people. - perfectblue 14:48, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep: Not very big at present, but could be monumentally expanded into a much more concise resource. It brings together desperate people people with a unique commonality together and provides a central resource for accessing them. The very description of a classic list. - perfectblue 14:48, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
