Delete, this list is based on vague, arbitrary criteria that is not defined. This is just asking for every person on Wikipedia who ever scored over "average" on an IQ test to add their name to the list... Article does not
verifiably source it's claims.--

Delete It is not a very reliable list, and it's just a magnet for trolls, even though
Genius is the only article that points to it. If anything, this should be a Category with a Tag, rather than just an arbitrary list that will require constant monitoring. --

Delete How do you define genius? The mere controversy in maintaining a list like this is unimaginable with no clearly-stated definition of what counts for genius.

Delete as per definition of this list on criteria can be given for who should be on it or not, i.e. will always violate NPOV. --

Delete. Utterly subjective.
Alice B. Toklas wrote that she'd only met three geniuses in her life (and she had more chance than most of us), and none of those three are on the list (including the one who wrote for Alice).

Delete. More listcruft. Completely subjective. What's the criteria for inclusion? It's also woefully incomplete since Wile E. Coyote seems to be missing.
