Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Czech Americans
per the above comments and cited policies and guidelines, as well as per . Re: the nominator's  argument, a list of notable Czech Americans does arguably "significantly contribute to the list topic." The nom's apparent interpretation of NOTDIR (that only lists of X are permitted when X is why those things are "famous", with I assume "famous" = merits an article) does not reflect consensus or even common sense. Obviously we have many completely uncontroversial lists (i.e., indexes) of notable people, places, and things that are not about why those things are famous or merit articles, to the extent one can even objectively ascertain ''why'' someone or something is "famous". Many are |featured lists that contradict the nom's supposed policy principle, such as List of Dartmouth College alumni (not limited to people famous ''because'' they are alumni of Dartmouth, if there are any such people). Otherwise, there would also go all lists of people by fundamental biographical data (no one is famous ''because'' they Deaths in 2012|died in 2012 or ''because'' they List of people from London|are from London), or indeed even basic indexes of notable things by their most defining characteristics (e.g., no newspaper is notable ''because'' List of newspapers in Ohio|it is published in Ohio). So I would hope it would be clear that the nom's deletion rationale is not a workable or desirable principle to enforce, in addition to being unsupported by consensus (and therefore not policy). And if NOTDIR can be read as contrary to that, then NOTDIR itself is in error and needs to be rewritten
