Deletion of List of people who have turned on the Oxford Street Christmas lights

Comment: Legitimate  list of a clearly notable topic. While the subject may be completely unimportant, we have no requirements that any article topic be important, meaningful, or significant as long as it is notable and verifiable. All of the entries are sourced, and I fail to see any cause for deletion. Multiple articles in reliable sources with significant coverage of the topic (people who have turned on the Oxford Street Christmas lights) demonstrate that this meets our notability guidelines. The delete arguments put forth above do not seem to be much more than 'TLIKEIT or some attemot to introduce a judgement of importance into the notability guidelines. Either way, such arguments are not based in policy

Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Inclusion criteria for Lists|This recent RFC saw that idea resoundingly opposed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Inclusion_criteria_for_Lists#Proposal_by:_Gavin_Collins here. The sources provided specifically discuss the people turning on the lights. Whether or not any of us find the concept important is irrelevant because those sources meet the only definition of ''notable'' that we apply - |this one. The one that specifically says "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things like fame, importance, or popularity" and allows that those may enhance notablility, but cannot define it. The list is discrminate, specific, well sourced, and meets all the requirements at  and . Many of the Delete comments seem to run contrary to consensus from that RfC and the Notability Guideline itself

Comment: The annual switching-on of the lights is a notable event, as evidenced by plenty of RS, and everybody listed has a WP article (which implies that ''they'' are notable). Satisfies
