• Ugh. BLP issues, indiscriminate content, brr. I agree with the nominator. Drmies (talk) 18:38, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per
  WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Way too broad of a list. Accusations of sexual misconduct a century from now would still be included in this list. – FenixFeather ^{(talk)(Contribs)} 20:12, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply

• Delete As a list that will grow without end. The topic is notable, but is adequately covered by the effect and me too articles, which only need a handful of representative examples. For the ones where the accusation has had a major effect on the persons life (and therefore is discussed in some depth on their blp article, perhaps a cat would serve better.

• Delete per Fenix. It's fast becoming a
  WP:COATRACK to add anyone who has been accused of such things, regardless of the link back to the initial movement. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:41, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply

• Delete This article reminds me of the "Aftermath"/"Me Too effect" section of the old
  Me Too movement article, which was eventually removed because it was a "BLP nightmare". So too should this article be removed. ^Falling_Gravity 07:58, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply

• Delete indiscriminate, unmaintainable, and a list of accusations is likely to have BLP violations.

• Delete, "accused of", serious BLP issues, should never have been forked. Sam Sailor 01:39, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. It's a
  WP:BLP nightmare. We want to be very very very cautious when dealing in explosive material like this which is potentially very destructive to a person's reputation. If the article was List of notable people and groups associated with the New York Mets or whatever, that'd be one thing, and even then it'd be marginal to our mission and possibly hurtful (a person might, understandably, not want to known as being associated with the Mets). But this? Well outside of our remit. Delete. Herostratus (talk) 00:51, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply

• Delete per
  WP:BLP. This is not suitable content for a serious encyclopedia. - MrX 🖋 13:55, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply
