Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Mensa International members
=[[List of Mensa International members]]=
As admirable as the idea of such a list is, it is very difficult, especially for a free encyclopaedia such as Wikipedia, to maintain such a list with accuracy. When even A-list Hollywood stars like Sharon Stone have been known to lie about their Mensa membership, the claims of others such as Asia Carrera are difficult to believe reliably (especially as the latter claims an above and beyond IQ of 156!).
Following the discussion on Talk:Asia Carrera#IQ%20Claims, therefore, I too suggest that this page cannot be maintained by wikipedians without inside access to Mensa records with any hope of reliability, and as such it is a disservice to this encyclopaedia not to delete the list wholesale. --Marlow4 00:06, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as unverifiable (unless Mensa publishes membership records). Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 08:22, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete being a member is not in-itself a notability claim and appears to be unverifiable. Marskell 09:24, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as per nom. As many of the individuals on the list reside in parts of the world with active national Mensa chapters the claim they are in Mensa International, the umbrella chapter normally used by people without an active national chapter, is also highly suspect. --Allen3 talk 14:02, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as with previous "List of" AfDs. Use a category if you can prove that said person is a member. RasputinAXP T C 18:54, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
Redirect to List of Metrosexual Brazilian-Mongolian Double-Glazing Saleswomen with Disabilities who joined Mensa International in July 1993... just kidding. Delete per nom. — Haeleth Talk 21:08, 23 November 2005 (UTC)- Delete listcruft. This job can safely be left to Mensa's webmasters. Just zis Guy, you know?
