WP:SALAT, very incomplete list that could potentially contain tens of thousands of entries. We have much more selective categories (by field by century, by field by state,...), and even better-defined sublists such as List of German chemists, there is no need for this overarching uncurated list.

Delete. I agree. To be even minimally useful such a list would need to include dates and sub-fields, but even if it had those delete would be the right choice. Athel cb (talk) 08:22, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. Too vague, just a list of links to Wikipedia articles about people with German names. Holger Ziegler is a good example, American born, but with a German name. Some of his career involves German, some not. — Maile (talk) — Maile (talk) 22:01, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
