* 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)
