This entry has no separate existence apart from Seven wonders of the World. It should be mentioned there, with a redirect. Wetman 03:55, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Where does this list come from?

As far as I can see, its just a list of things someone thought were important. Without reference citations, it looks like original research. I'm going to put a cleanup tag on it, but my real feeling is that it should be AfD if this is all there is to it. –Shoaler (talk) 19:18, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's just a list of things decribed ay the Eight Wonder - typically by whomever holds/is the 'wonder' in question. I don't have a particular problem with the article's existence. Craig Sniffen 03:14, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have no problems with this article - I agree with the last user; it looks like it's just a list of things that have been labelled the Either Wonder of the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.225.239.144 (talk • contribs) 12:50, September 14, 2006 (UTC)

It comes from culture

Actually is does have citation at the bottom though it might not be the best, and alot of the things on this list i have actually heard of people wanting them to be wonders... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.19.100.105 (talk • contribs) 15:39, September 14, 2006 (UTC)

Additions

What about Stonehenge or the Great Wall of China? I'm sure they have been described countless times as the eight wonder... shouldn't they be added provided one could find a fitting citation? --Ifrit 11:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

King Kong

This claim struck me as odd, so I read the cited source.

Nobody made the claim that King Kong was the eigth wonder of the world (neither the film nor the fictional ape). The article mentions that the plot features men searching for the eight wonder of the world.

I think this entry should be removed.
