The result of the debate was delete. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 22:52, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Reason why the page should be deleted The article can be very POV and get very long. Besides, isnt everyone famous a superstar? I heard Bill Clinton, for example, is called a superstar by fellow politicians, for example. I say a consideration for deleting is due. Antonio Crackers Martin

- Delete, POV - what is the criteria here for a "Superstar"? Unmaintainable list. Megan1967 09:55, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. POV. A large unmaintainable list. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 10:29, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Silly, silly, silly article. — Phil Welch 11:24, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The definition of what a superstar is tends to be pretty hazy, especially if, as the article suggests, superstars specific to one country or area are to be included as well. For example, Rajinikanth is on the list, and I've no doubt that he's famous in India, but most people elsewhere haven't heard of him. Suggested alternate lists might be "List of world-famous people" (celebrities so iconic that they're known in nearly all of the civilised world) or a listof people who have recieved significant notability in more than one field (i.e. Arnold Schwartzeneggar - acting and politics) Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:34, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
- Well, we already have the latter, List of people with two or more professions. Thanks for your vote anyways, Andrew.Antonio thousand women Martin

- DeleteRidiculous. How this has survived since Feb 2004 is beyond me. --Doc Glasgow 15:39, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. "I'm a superstar on my own right! Why aren't I on the list?" Nestea 15:45, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Superstar is not a defined position, it is largely subjective and therefore inherently POV. Average Earthman 16:30, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete for all the reasons already mentioned. Mgm|(talk) 17:05, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete for POV reasons, what constitutes a "superstar" can differ between individuals. Stancel 00:21, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Warhol superstars, perhaps? Grutness...wha? 04:53, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
