Inclusion criteria

As stated at Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists, Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Adding individual items to a list:-

1. All lists must have clearly defined inclusion criteria
2. Every entry should demonstrate that it is verifiably a member of the list.
3. Red-linked or unlinked entries supported by references are only acceptable if the entry is verifiably a member of the list, and meets the notability criteria for its own article, i.e. for this list it meets Wikipedia:GOLDENRULE + WP:BIO and it is reasonable to expect an article could be forthcoming in the future. This prevents indiscriminate lists, and prevents individual lists from being too large to be useful to readers.
4. Editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists by only including entries with Wikipedia articles.
5. All items on the list must follow Wikipedia's core content policies of Verifiability (through good sources in the item's one or more references), No original research, and Neutral point of view

To summarize this guidance:-

1. All redlinked/unlinked entries, without a verifiable citation, should be removed
2. Entries citing reliable sources which fail to meet Wikipedia:GOLDENRULE + WP:BIO should be removed
3. Entries citing reliable sources meeting Wikipedia:GOLDENRULE + WP:BIO, should only remain if it is "reasonable to expect an article could be forthcoming".

How one is supposed to assess whether "it is reasonable to expect an article could be forthcoming" the guidance fails to explain.
Personally, I would like to "choose to limit the list to entries with a Wikipedia articles", and eliminate all redlinks - as point 3 above - but that is a matter for consensus. - Arjayay (talk) 10:52, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
