Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of bow tie wearers (3rd nomination)
cultural text to Bow tie and 86 the list. |Wikipedia articles are not lists or repositories of loosely associated people. There is no indiction that anyone on this list wears a bow tie because anyone else on the list did, thus there is absolutely no encyclopedic relationship between these people on the trivial basis of neckwear preference. While some may find the article interesting, |it's interesting is not a particularly strong argument. All sorts of interesting things get deleted every day because they fail policy or guideline and this fails . What is the encyclopedic relationship between, for example, Walter Gropius, Pee Wee Herman and Lurch (The Addams Family)|Lurch? If all they have in common is that they wear bow ties then that demonstrates the non-existence of an encyclopedic relationship
