The result was no consensus. I really can't see any good policy-based arguments on either side. There's a lot of WP:OSE and WP:ILIKEIT/ WP:IDONTLIKEIT, but not much beyond that. In any case, there's clearly no consensus to delete this. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:34, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

- Keep Have a look at Category:Lists of things named after politicians. Don't they fall in the same category?. -- ✝iѵɛɳ२२४० †ลℓк †๏ мэ 17:31, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
- The top level list is at Category:Lists of things named after people Spinning Spark 18:28, 4 November 2018 (UTC).
- Keep, as similar to List of things named after Mahatma Gandhi. – wbm1058 ( talk) 19:46, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- Delete a list of things by shared name. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 23:57, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- Delete Isn't this better covered by a disambiguation page, but only for those items that are actually notable? BTW - Editors should try to avoid "What about X?" arguments per WP:WAX, Wiki has lots of stuff on it, much of which may be faulty/hard to defend FOARP ( talk) 16:19, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

- Keep Same types of articles such as available on wiki so this article is also important. प्रसाद साळवे ( talk) 14:53, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep It's easy enough to keep a list like this from growing out of control, for example, by limiting entries to blue-linked items. There is probably a legitimate discussion to be had about whether, say, an award named for Ambedkar given out by a notable organization not named for Ambedkar deserves inclusion, but that's a matter for the Talk page, not Articles for Deletion. (I know that "well what about this other page that exists" is usually an argument to be avoided, but List of things named after Enrico Fermi, List of things named after Albert Einstein, etc., show that this type of list can be done well.)

- Keep. "List of things named after <person>" has become an established form and is useful for biography articles where a long list would be inappropriately UNDUE weight. It has been a common outcome of AfD to keep such lists: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of things named after Richard Dedekind, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of things named after Donald Trump, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of places named after people, and List of places named after Robert Byrd has been through a Peer Review.
