 * Keep, rename to List of Disney Channel actors. Lists and categories serve different complementary purposes. --Dhartung | Talk 23:05, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Unnecessary duplicate of a category. Soltak | Talk 23:42, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename per Dhartung. --Djsasso 18:48, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as actors should not be listed on the basis of what network their shows happen to appear. For that matter, actors shouldn't be categorized by this either. Otto4711 03:55, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep Why was most of this list removed? Anyway, the list does have a function separate from a category, listing the Disney Channel productions in which the actor/actress appeared.  Doesn't appear to be listcruft since Disney Channel does indeed have a nasty habit of recycling its actors/actresses.  ShadowHalo 03:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * An actor's credits should be listed in their own article rather than maintaining a separate list by network. Otto4711 16:44, 4 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment. Whilst it's true that a list can have a separate function from a category, that applies when the items in the list are items that don't have their own articles.  In this case, the items in the list all have separate articles and are all included in the relevant category, and are listed in alphabetical order - hence it's just a duplicate.
