Religion, or lack thereof, has no relation to Nobel prizewinning. There are no published works which discuss atheism in connection with the Nobel prize (and if there is a significant body of writing about this, I will withdraw the nomination).

[[User:Devraj5000|RS]] 03:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC) *The argument has been advanced that since there is a [[list of Christian Nobel laureates]], [[list of Hindu Nobel laureates]], etc., that the article merits inclusion. I believe this argument boils down to [[WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS]], and depending on the arguments advanced in this AfD I will consider nominating all of them for deletion as well (including the Humanist list above). [[User:Chubbles1212|Chubbles]] 16:57, 8 July 2007 (UTC) *'''Comment'''. I don't actually see how classifying the Nobel laureates by religion serves any real purpose per [[WP:LIST]].

The list is merely a reflection of one editor's belief system, and his desire to find others with similar belief systems, and Wikipedia is hardly the place. I think enthusiasm is wonderful, but again, the place to develop your brotherhood of atheism is not Wikipedia, and creating Wikipedia articles for this purpose and celebrating each and every declaration of shared brotherhood on an article's talk page is just too much, imo. In addition the editor has no issues about doing original research to come up with who's an atheist or who's a nontheist and who isn't, it's a matter of the editor's opinion and desire to include some particular person into the brotherhood (Emphasis added throughout is mine): ::[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_atheists&diff=prev&oldid=137000316] "The father of father of modern computer science is in the List of atheists!! I am adding the name of Alan Turing in the List of atheists. Yes! He is considered as the father of modern computer science! Great!" ::Einstein is apparently a nontheist based upon this editor's personal conclusions and original research into the matter, "Well, I had discussions with a teacher of Physics about the faith of Einstein. I also studied about the religious views of Einstein. '''''My conclusions are:'' The faith of Einstein has nothing to do with the faith of Christians, Jews or Muslims.''' Einstein had a faith in the rationality of nature."[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_nontheists&diff=prev&oldid=138305271] *But no bad guys can be atheists, only good guys, because adding bad guys to a personal brotherhood would make it seem, well, more human, I guess, so Mussolini can't be an atheist, no matter what any sources say: ::[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Benito_Mussolini&diff=prev&oldid=135526871] "Benito Mussolini was not an atheist.

The website (see orginal) is a Catholic website. '''These two ridiculous, nonsense and stupid website should be removed. ''' And, of course, Benito Mussolini was a Roman Catholic. I have found two reliable sources which shows Mussolini was religious...." *So, when articles are written by editors desiring something other than an encyclopedia article, namely a sense of belonging, and they allow their needs to be put ahead of the Wikipedia guidelines for articles, to the extent of calling everything that says anything against them stupid, and calling other editor's comments stupid and nonsense when they don't support the editor's search for belonging,[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jreferee&diff=next&oldid=142821079] along with celebrating anything that can be used for them, it makes it tough for other editors and users of the encyclopedia. I think deletion is the right way to go at this time for this list. With a more reasonable editing system, that doesn't include berating other editors and personal research that is heavily biased towards those Nobel Prize winners who personally appeal to the author (a concern considering the Musolini comments, although I'm pretty sure he didn't win one....), this might be an appropriate list.

The reason I think this article should stay is that it has a very well researched reference section. This reference section helps insulate edit wars by providing real support from one's inclusion in this list/category. I can see that the majority of people have ''voted'' delete and the article will most likely be deleted. I have also seen someone say they will, excuse me are ''considering'', nominating other such articles for deletion if this one passes. I implore you to either nominate all the articles together or if the other nominations do not pass reinstate this article.

This list is much better referenced than the other lists of Nobel laureates by religious belief.

Lists of this type are not a meaningless intersection of categories for the simple reason that many readers do find it meaningful to see how many Nobel Prize winners happen to have been members of a particular religious group. This list cannot be adequately replaced by a category, since lists provide something valuable that categories cannot: footnotes, supporting citations, quotes and details. This list does not duplicate [[List of Humanist Nobel laureates]], since not all atheists are Humanists, and not all Humanists are atheists. Even if it were a duplicate, the quality of the atheist list justifies keeping it in preference to the Humanist list. The article is not original research, but reports faithfully what its sources say without coming to any new conclusions synthesized from those sources. The article does not push a point of view either--it neither disparages nor exalts these Nobel laureates' atheism. I have worked before with RS, the creator of this article, and it is true that he is a very enthusiastic proponent of atheism. However, the article should be judged on its own merits, and not according to suspicions about the neutrality of the author's motives. This is a very well-referenced article, and a fine example of how the other articles of its type could be improved.
