Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Horror icon
per . The article has rapidly become a collection of poorly sourced laundry lists and unsourced discussions. There are no discernible inclusion criteria, and there really can't be any, beyond "somebody used this phrase to describe somebody or something somewhere. "Horror icon" isn't a meaningful phrase, just a media/popular catchprase. When you look at parallel articles/lists, they're substantively incoherent. Ultimately, distinguishing "horror icons" from horror-related subjects isn't any more worthwhile an effort than distinguishing "movie stars" from actors and actresses, or "great authors" from authors generally. It's not really different from trying to define a canon here, which can't be done without violating NPOV and NOR.
