The problem here is that AfD is working as designed. In my opinion, there is certainly room for a list of really tall men on wikipedia. It should however be limited to those who are notable for being tall; which would mean a lower limit of around 2.40 m, and a smaller list of "legendary" tall men, whose names are almost synonymous with "giant", such as Goliath.
And 2.4m comes from?... This is the problem.
Sure, we could have a list of men who are or were notable for their height, as identified by independent reliable sources. That would be a completely different list, and most of the entries on the current one would not make it. I'm almost minded to start it myself.
