===[[6'4"]]===
A height and the people who reached it. Not encyclopedic. --[[User:LeeHunter|LeeHunter]] 18:47, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
* If this were a list of notable people who were unusually tall (where I'm handwaving "unusually"), i.e. ''as tall as or taller than'' some boundary height that marks them as exceptional, it might be more worthwhile. But an article for only those people who were exactly 76 inches tall ... No. '''Merge''' to such a list, or '''Delete'''. [[User:Uncle G|Uncle G]] 19:13, 2005 Jan 29 (UTC)
* This is actually just one article in a series of articles, guys. I just happened to start with 6'4". '''Lighten Up'''. [[User:Getalis|Getalis]] 1:48 PM, January 29, 2005.
**It's actually [[User:12.215.72.34]] who was the creator of the article. If you speak for xem, then it should be apparent to you both that this is a poor idea that a ''lot'' of people disagree with. As both I and [[User:Sjorford]] have suggested, a far better approach is to pick an arbitrary height, above which people are "exceptionally tall", and then have a ''single'' [[List of people over 2m tall]] (say) article. No-one reading an encyclopaedia is going to think of pulling up a [[6'4"]] article, let alone the even more absurdly named [[6 ft 4 in (1.93 m)]]; and having to navigate from article to article to see who is taller than who renders what would probably be the most common use of a list such as this a lot harder than it should be. If we are going to have this at all, have ''one'' article, with everyone in height order. This is why my vote was Merge. [[User:Uncle G|Uncle G]] 01:04, 2005 Jan 30 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' before he gets around to even more articles. By the time we get to my height, we should have 90% of the adults on the planet. --[[User:Jpgordon|jpgordon]][[User talk:Jpgordon|∇∆∇∆]] 20:15, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' mundane information. -- [[User:Francs2000|Francs2000]] | [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Francs2000&action=edit§ion=new Talk] [[]] 20:28, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''.[[User:Mikkalai|Mikkalai]] 22:36, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
*'''Delete before it is too late'''. --[[User:BM|BM]] 00:13, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
*A list of extremely tall and extremely short people would be interesting, but this is pointless. '''Delete''' the whole series. [[User:TUF-KAT|Tuf-Kat]] 01:10, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
*'''Delete''', non-notable. If anyone needs to know about heights, [http://www.famousheights.com FamousHeights.com] has it. --[[User:Idont havaname|Idont Havaname]] 02:09, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' all, unmaintainable un-encyclopaedic trivial lists. [[User:Megan1967|Megan1967]] 03:09, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
*'''Delete.''' And the rest of the series too. -- [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] 04:01, 2005 Jan 30 (UTC)
*'''Delete''', not really that encyclopedic. [[User:Rje|Rje]] 04:18, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. [[User:Ambi|Ambi]] 07:22, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' this and the rest of the height series. For most of these people, it's not verifiable how tall they are/were, and it doesn't meet Wikipedia's definition of informative: it is neither actionable nor interesting. --[[User:Angr|Angr]] 13:56, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
'''*Keep!''' Very interesting! [[User:Pitchka|Dwain]] 17:23, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' all. —[[User:Korath|Korath]] ([[User talk:Korath|Talk]]) 09:03, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' - merge relevant into to articles about the people concerned - [[User:Skysmith|Skysmith]] 09:44, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
* Delete all per reasons given above. [[User:Rossami|Rossami]] [[User talk:Rossami|(talk)]] 03:36, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
* '''Delete''' Another pointless height article. [[User:Ral315|ral315]] 21:42, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)
