If you find any typos, errors or objects missing, please add to this thread and I will gladly update.
My list will not contain ALL safely removable items as there are some things I am personally not willing to test.

if this list hasn't been tested how do you know any of these are safe to remove? Are you using a different list as reference? Like an S3 list? I'm not saying any of these aren't safe either, because most likely none of these will effect the system after deletion, maybe a couple of the google ones, (for example on some of systems if you delete the talk.apk it can mess things up, just because processes in it attach to others to work for some reason) but still :l If these have been tested at all this isn't a safe list. It's just a list of apps you are recommending to people to delete... so I'd recommend removing or clarifying with colors which have been and which have not been tested.
Anyways on topic I finally rooted my phone after being busy for weeks, and have a few apps that I can confirm are completely safe to remove:

amex service
audible
lets golf 3
Google search*
plants vs zombies

*I renamed and replaced with Google Now (whick works flalwlessly

This is short because I actually do like having the amazon apps, and IMDB.

Also a quick question to anyone who knows this, I like one of my Verizon apps, the one that lets me keep tabs on my shared data (not the built in system settings, the actual widget that shows the whole plans data usage). Which app is doing that, because I don't want to delete it, but I do want to delete the other Verizon bloat.

 

[backwards1979]

I have tested them individually and I had no issues. I have not run with all deleted. This was not a copied list. As far as the data widget, I wasn't able to track back which file it is so I left all of the my Verizon stuff alone.

Ive completely disabled all google apps on my phone and plan to uninstall.
