List of IIT JEE Toppers

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A list of unremarkable people that serves to do little else than give a bunch of people a chance to say "look how clever we are". A list should be a navigational aid, yet there are only three notable people listed here who could easily be added to the parent article. Biker Biker (talk) 08:12, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Keep only names with Wikipedia Articles: "A list of unremarkable people" agree. 'gives a bunch of people a chance to say "look how clever we are"': Disagree. I know a few on the list and they would all be happier if the article were deleted :). Getting back to the topic, I think what we can do is either delete the article, or, as I unsuccessfully attempted to do earlier after my previous deletion request was denied, we can remove all names except those that have Wikipedia articles of their own (or are notable enough to have articles of their own). This would also make the article be a "navigational aid". Piyush (talk) 22:18, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
