List of the 30 Most Influential Women of the Millennium

The personal opinion of the person who runs a non-notable website which we don't have an article on. The title also switches between "the 30 Most Influential" to "30 of the Most Influential". RickK 04:44, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete The source is not-notable and therefore the list itself isn't notable. This list itself is also POV. The title gives the appearance that Wikipedia knows in some objective way which 30 women out of the billions that lived over the last thousand years were the most influential.Tobycat 05:11, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for above reasons. Postdlf 05:12, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. If this was Time Magazine's list, or some other notable organisation, then it would be worth keeping with the source in the title - since then it wouldn't be our POV, it would be repeating someone notable's POV. However, a list produced by an organisation that appears to exist only on one obscure webpage is not. Average Earthman 08:16, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• "Delete' per Toby and Average Earthman. Mgm|^(talk) 10:13, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Some fairly remakable choices and omissions in this list, too. No Queen Victoria or Elizabeth I, no Marie Curie, no Florence Nightingale, no Margaret Thatcher, no Indira Gandhi, no Joan of Arc, no Elizabeth Fry... no offence to Pauli Murray, but... Grutness...wha? 10:45, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete personal speculation Fornadan (t) 11:33, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Just somebody's opinion, and a rather odd opinion it is, too (the omissions pointed out by Grutness are startling). Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:53, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, amusing but unencyclopedic listcruft. (And what about Pearl Buck, Georgia O'Keefe, Barbara McClintock, Margaret Sanger, Elizabeth Barrett Browning... And how do you compare the "influence" of a queen to that of a writer?) Dpbsmith (talk) 19:39, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
