List of Australian actors

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)


 * Delete. Grossly incomplete, listcruft, just a short list of actors the editor could recall. WWGB (talk) 12:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Although it may have appeared that an article of this sort hadn't been done, there are actually several categories for Australian actors that have hundreds of entries. To get to them, go to [Category:Australian actors by medium] or [Category:Australian actors] and check that out.  (talk) 12:41, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Provisional Keep - Yes, there's plenty of categories. But there is room for a list too. Other nationalities have list articles (Category:Lists of actors by nationality here.) The advantage of a list is that it can be annotated and put in an order other than alphabetical. However, I don't like the current ordering as it is too subjective. I would suggest listing by movie / TV / radio actor, then sub-listing by date of birth, or active period. Marasmusine (talk) 12:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Way too broad a topic. WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS shouldn't be used to justify it; I'd support AFDs for those other lists, too, if anyone were to go ahead an nominate them. Unmaintainable, etc etc. 23skidoo (talk) 20:52, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - this already exists anyway. Unmaintainable and incomplete. tim  .  bounceback  22:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - the category already exists - as Tim above has shown - that is sufficient surely. Categories above lists everytime i say SatuSuro 02:07, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletion discussions.  -- Canley (talk) 02:48, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as redundant to the category. Sorting by type (Movie, TV, etc) can be done through sub-categories if needed, although I am not convinced it is.  There is a place for lists but this topic is not one. -- Mattinbgn\talk 03:05, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, adds nothing to what one would find in the equivalent category. Lankiveil (speak to me) 11:57, 28 March 2008 (UTC).
