The result was delete. Though AfD is a discussion not a vote the issue here was quite straightforward - is there a place for this list in addition to categories? By a majority of 2:1 the Community decided in the negative which I regard as a consensus. TerriersFan 22:49, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

List of Colombians
This list has a whole bunch of semi-transclusions from "Main Articles". Should be deleted, or split. GrooveDog (talk) (Review) 16:02, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete in my opinion, notable people from ___ country is a list of extremely loosely associated names, as they have nothing except their nationality in common.  This should be categorized. Corpx 16:13, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It's a safe assumption that it already is. RegRCN 19:49, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. RegRCN 19:49, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - there are more specific pages and categories.--Svetovid 19:57, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I'd be surprised if this isn't already categorized. If it's not, then keep the list up until it is.  Mandsford 20:20, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and reference better. Country of origin is not a "loose association" any more than a college attended, or working for a particular company. Having a category is no reason to delete a list, its a different animal. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 06:33, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep List of notable people associated with [x] is useful, & different enough from a category to be independently viable. —Adrian~enwiki (talk) 2007-08-19 19:28Z
 * If the article would be to keep I suggest changing the title, because that will not be maintainable, a category would fit more and per profession so cancelación por per Corpx.--JForget 00:00, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep A useful source of reference.--Bedivere 21:17, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Harlowraman 17:08, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - better served by a category per above comments. Nationality is far too loose a criterion for inclusion in a list. EyeSereneTALK 08:54, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
