List of Christian politicians

This is pointless. You might as well add every politician from every Western country. Christianity is the predominant religion of almost all of the Western world and such a small list doesn't even come close to covering every Christian poltician (probably not even 1% of 1% of 1% of them), and such a list would be impossible and pointless. 65.123.220.255 05:05, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)

Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 03:12, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Might as well have a list of Tall politicians. Religious affiliation isn't categorical enough to make easy lists. Do the politicians have to be self-declared, or does the wiki community decide who fits the bill? What about Catholics? Mormons? Etc. Feco 04:40, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Scope too broad. I like how the list implies that the politicians listed are only notable because they are christian. Dave the Red (talk) 05:01, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
Delete, POV, unmaintainable list. Megan1967 06:00, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete: agreed w/ Megan1967. Wile E. Heresiarch 06:07, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete: impossible and pointless list is right. Jonathunder 06:19, 2005 Apr 10 (UTC)
Delete: yeah, impossible and pointless. Nominator overstates the case by saying that all Western politicians are Christian, though. FreplySpang (talk) 13:02, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete - what would be the definition of the "real christian", for one? Potential POV pusher magnet - Skysmith
- Well, see, natural christians are a subset of real christians, which are a subset of complex christians together with imaginary ones. Never mind, delete. Radiant _* 14:12, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Incompletable trivia. Chris talk back 16:58, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep, we do have List of Jewish superheroes after all. Grue 18:53, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Impossible list - probably would about the same unmanageable size as a list of all male politicians, or all politicians in Asia. -- 8^D ^gab 16:41, 2005 Apr 15 (UTC)
