List of Australian photojournalists

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A pointless list that would be better off as a category. Unlikely to pass WP:LISTN as it is a cross-categorisation and is not a group normally discussed in independent sources. Kb.au (talk) 00:24, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per WP:NOTDUP relative to Category:Australian photojournalists. North America1000 09:28, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete occupations are much better covered by categories than lists. The sum total of people in a nation who are in a profession of this level is never going to be well covered in a list, a category will be much better maintained.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:15, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:NOTDUP. FloridaArmy (talk) 00:29, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete -- much better served via a category. At present, this is merely a link farm, with no added value whatsoever. It's also unclear why a list is needed anyway, since there's not discussion present of what makes these individuals notable as a grouping. Fails WP:LISTN in the present form.

 * Keep List upgraded, now an encyclopedic list, no longer a "link farm".  Aoziwe (talk) 14:32, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per aoziwe JarrahTree 06:03, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I don't really see what this does that a category wouldn't do.  Or, even better, a small tree of them: Category:Photographers in Australia, Category:Photojournalists in Australia.  In any case, I've cleaned up the truly horrible formatting.  -- RoySmith (talk) 16:33, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
