Nobody from The Office is A-list. Not even Carrell.

I just skimmed your list
But Anne Hathaway is definitely an A lister
She's probably more of an A lister than almost everyone on your list

"A-list" without Kevin Bacon

Your women's list blows. Julia Roberts is no more relevant than Travolta. Milan Kunis?
Women's list should have Meryl Streep A List- the rest

Not anymore for these. Depp is borderline.

John Travolta doesn't have the filmography of an A lister? These three movies will be remembered forever

Grease
Saturday Night Fever

Travolta clearly once was an A list actor. When you consider his career as a whole it is impressive if not legendary. There was a window around the SNF release where he was probably the #1 star in the world. Falling completely off the map, struggling along with movies like "look who's talking" and then being reborn with "pulp fiction" made his rise from the ashes more impressive because he had gone from A lister to an object of mockery.
I think the wheel has pretty well turned on that once again FWIW. Between his weird behavior at nationally televised award ceremonies and his habit of molesting male masseuses he seems to be more than eccentric

Interesting thread that I don't have time to discuss right now. But I have to say that I disagree about Travolta, regardless of some of the crap he's put out. He, arguably, meets all of your criteria if you look at his entire career. He hasn't done anything big lately, but that doesn't equal irrelevance.
And, looking at some of the women on your "B" list, I think you're selling some of them way short. Especially Amy Adams Emma Stone. The only "rap" against them is that, perhaps, they haven't been around quite long enough. But I assure you, they're on the "A list" for casting directors.
