 * Delete per WP:CFORK, the directors are listed with episodes and related articles. See no reason for seperate article again -- Whats new?(talk) 04:43, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Per above. Also Not notable, and the list does not even contain any sources. - AffeL (talk) 13:52, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - redundant fork Spiderone  09:57, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - poorly sourced listcruft. This stuff is already covered in sufficient detail in other articles, and I don't think the title would be a useful redirect. Reyk  YO!  08:15, 22 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment As noted at Articles for deletion/List of Game of Thrones directors (2nd nomination), many of these votes are merely to make a WP:POINT for the votes against them at the aforementioned deletion article. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 03:01, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Very weak keep. Unlike other deleted lists of this kind, I think this does have some potential, provided the article is improved.  I'm sure plenty of sources exist discussing the work of directors such as Waris Hussein and Paddy Russell in relation to this series, and the work of directors such as Ben Wheatley on the modern series.  However as it stands, it is as the delete !votes say above, unsourced listcruft.  --Rob Sinden (talk) 11:36, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, we should probably have a look at List of Doctor Who producers, List of Doctor Who script editors and List of Doctor Who composers. Maybe the first two could be combined with this one some how to form a Doctor Who crew members (or similar) page, and maybe List of Doctor Who composers could be combined with List of music featured on Doctor Who to form a Music of Doctor Who article.  Simply listing the number of episodes and the length of their tenure is not very encylopedic.  --Rob Sinden (talk) 13:18, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete - As mentioned, its an unecessary fork, as the various episode lists for the series already includes the directors.  The only information here, really, that can't easily be found elsewhere is that last column of showing how long its been since they directed their first episode, which is pure, useless trivia.  64.183.45.226 (talk) 17:32, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * And the second-to-last column? Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 00:38, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The notes column contains much trivia as well. Anything actually notable should be noted on the director's article or the main article. I don't think this list offers much that isn't or can't be appropriately covered elsewhere -- Whats new?(talk) 01:35, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
 * (Note: I'm the same individual as the anonymous IP above) - The second to last column is largely empty, and the vast majority of the information that is there is, as I said, readily found elsewhere, either on the main Episode lists, or on the expanded pages of the episodes/serials themselves. It is also, as already noted, mostly just trivia.  75.82.28.71 (talk) 02:47, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
