List of English writers (A–D)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A complete duplicate of List of English writers. Appears to be an attempt at a split, but no effort has been made to make the rest of the pages in the split for years, leaving it a mere copy and paste duplicate. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 03:42, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment, the original list is massive. I'd support a split by alphabetical blok. Ajf773 (talk) 07:27, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep, and create more subdivisions of List of English writers: it makes perfect sense to split a massive list into more manageable sections (see WP:SIZESPLIT). There is no good reason to delete a list that helps Wikipedia. --Animalparty! (talk) 16:42, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 *  Keep - I support a keep and split. A split was discussed at Talk:List of English writers, but opposed at that time. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:14, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
