Lists vs Categories
Hi there. I'd like to suggest that you modify your article List of Hutus by moving, or copying, its content onto the page. The advantages of using a category instead of a list are that the category alphabetizes itself, that it keeps itself neatly formatted, and that when a new article is created, it adds itself to the category (as opposed to lists, which need to be updated by hand).

The article on Cyprien Ntaryamira - the reader is told at the very beginning that he is in the categories of 1956 births, of 1994 deaths, of Burundi politicians, of plane crash deaths... why not tell the reader that he is also in the category of Hutu people? This is done by adding the text (note that it has to be "lastname, firstname" to stay in alphabetical order).

Just a suggestion; you're doing good work. DS 15:23, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of Zulus


The article List of Zulus has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Seems to be a duplicate of List of Zulu people"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
