Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of male action heroes
I do not believe that the topic of the article is appropriate for Wikipedia per the criteria of |appropriate topics for lists, since this list falls into WP:!|what Wikipedia is not (|Wikipedia is not a directory and |Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information) which makes the list of fictional heroes/actors trivial, non-encyclopedic, and it is not related to human knowledge. I do not believe that the list has a selection criteria that is unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources. All that this list has is entries of actors divided in an arbitrary way (e.g. ''Classic Action Heroes'', ''Old School Action Heroes''), combined with fictional characters (e.g. ''Television'', ''Literature'') without a single inline citation to support the content or justify the inclusion of real people with fictional characters. This list is created with |original research by synthesis as no reliable secondary source appears to have such a division or to include real people with imaginary characters. I also do not believe that the the topic meets the |general notability guideline and since |notability guidelines apply to the inclusion of stand-alone lists, I believe that this article should be deleted, since the subject, as broad as presented in the article, has not been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources. There are only a few of sources about the action hero concept with some examples, but not a list of action heroes ''per se'', which in my opinion further emphasizes that the article is original research by synthesis
