Crew of King of the Hill

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

As far as I can make out from the history, a page List of King of the Hill writers was deleted and moved here, though the reason seems obscured. The original page was created (by bot?) when Category:King of the Hill writers was deleted. In any case, the page is nothing more than a List of King of the Hill writers anyway, with just five names. Surely, this information needs to be a section in the King of the Hill article itself and is not worthy of a separate page, plus redirect.

 * Merge into King of the Hill. I don't think a redirect is necessary. Horologium talk - contrib 18:47, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - this article and many similar articles were created following the results of a number of CFDs for categories for the cast and crew of various TV series. It was decided that categorizing people based on the entertainment projects on which they work is overcategorization. I have no opinion regarding the retention of this particular article but it's important to consider why the article was created. Otto4711 02:51, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying this page was created AFTER the CFD purge? Was it some sort of perverse wiki-reaction to mass deletion by creating more of the same? (I can easily imagine that sort of thing happening) Or I am missing what you meant? Horologium talk - contrib 03:09, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I haven't looked to see when this article was created in relation to when the overall consensus againt the categories formed. This CFD determined that categorizing actors by the series in which they appeared was overcategorization. In the subsequent months similar categories for writers and directors were also determined to be overcategorization. To preserve the information, the various categories were listified before being deleted. Otto4711 06:07, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Clarification (I hope). The category was deleted and 'listified' as List of King of the Hill writers. This was then turned into a redirect to the newer Crew of King of the Hill page (I guess on the grounds that the former would have got deleted). Emeraude 10:04, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
