List of people with absolute pitch

Delete. My grandmother had absolute pitch, and the guy standing next to me in the choir has it too. Unmaintainable list because potentially far far too large. And unencyclopedic: In professional musicians and composers, having absolute pitch is commonplace, and in other people it just doesn't matter very much. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:04, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, how would one go about verifying this? --Deville (Talk) 01:07, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One wouldn't.--DP4 62090 01:21, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Could work as a category. Can't work as a list. —Cuivi é nen, Saturday, 29 April 2006 @ 03:03 UTC
Delete: POV (too many musicians!). No more lists! Besides, it's perfect pitch. --die Baumfabrik 07:06, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Difficult to see (if 1 in 20 have this) how this would not grow without bound, although information on who does and does not have it is encyclopedic. Trim non notable and non verified people from the list and then merge back to Absolute pitch. Support the idea of a category as well. ++Lar: t/c 16:40, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just a comment. I took this out of absolute pitch (as per article talk) because the list was growing out of control and wasn't of much value to the article anyway, figuring that if anyone cared about the list so much they could maintain it (source, verify, etc). As this hasn't been done I don't care what happens to it. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 17:22, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete just because a list can grow to infinity, does not mean it ought to be deleted -- see the List of people from California, List of left-handed people and List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people, e.g. And just because Nana and the guy next to you have perfect pitch doesn't make them notable enough for inclusion in the list, just like had they been left-handed or lesbian/gay or from California instead. And bias toward musicians is not problematic -- the quality is more rewarded in music than say, a boxer with perfect pitch <sarcasm> of course a pitcher with perfect pitch may be worth noting </sarcasm>, just as the left-handers list tends to overinclude sports professionals. All that aside, unless someone (Mindspillage?) is going to source the folks with citations like they do at the gay-lesbian list, it is probably better to see this one off to the bit-bin.
