Talk:List of African restaurants

Really?
A page that lists all restaurants that serve African cuisine? That seems like a very exhaustive, painful and unnecessary project. Was it just created to send links to the page of those three restaurants in Portland? Inotodo (talk) 02:35, 18 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Not sure why you'd think this list is more problematic than similar ones in Category:Lists of restaurants. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 15:49, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Category:Lists of restaurants is a category, List of African restaurants is an article.
 * You are bringing up a good point, this article should be converted into a category, as simple as that. Inotodo (talk) 22:10, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Disagree. We already have Category:African restaurants. This list should be expanded to include other notable restaurants serving African cuisine. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 06:45, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
 * WP:LISTV : "Is there a category in Wikipedia already for the same subject? If so, could the list add something the category can't?"
 * Frankly, I'm comparing the list and the category, and it is exactly the same, the list does not add anything at all. Moreover, the only three African restaurants listed are based in Portland, USA, so the whole thing looks like local SEO and nothing more. Inotodo (talk) 22:04, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * WP:LISTV also states : "Is the list's criteria so open-ended as to welcome infinite results or abuse?" Not sure one can argue that this page won't turn into an endless directory, as the topic itself is potentially endless... Inotodo (talk) 22:07, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
