Article fails WP:NOT, a mere collection of redlinks Hu12 (talk) 19:31, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't care I created this as a compromise because anons kept putting it as text on Category:Filipino television directors. eg The JPS talk to me  21:02, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * keep Nowhere in WP policy or guidelines does it say that lists are to be deleted just because they have lots of redlinks.  Improve the article by adding information to it, such as why the director is notable.  Hmains (talk) 23:18, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Neutral it seems that the list was created to make the fanboys happy, perhaps if we could somehow monitor or protect the category from anons then we could safely delete this list. Otherwise keep the list until doesn't serve its purpose anymore-- Lenticel ( talk ) 23:24, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, then edit. It may be a fanboy project, but we can make good use of it by editing it.  Refer to List of Alpha Kappa Alpha sisters.  Starczamora (talk) 02:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. This was, as the creator admits, originally a category, and was only created to stop people adding unencyclopaedic material to that category. The solution is not to create this relatively useless list, but to protect the category. (Is that actually possible?) Terraxos (talk) 04:07, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. and revert back to catagory as origionaly intendended--Hu12 (talk) 06:44, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep this is like a routine "nationality + occupation" list. -- Howard  the   Duck  08:20, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: no point in having lists of red links. They serve no purpose at all. MSGJ (talk) 12:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: Lists of red links (to notable persons) are valuable as a framework to be extended. In the early days of WP there were many such lists that are now all blue-linked. It's one of th ways that WP grows. Plainly, some television directors are notable and many US examples are already in WP. There is an argument to removing individual persons if not notable, but to say there cannot be a list of Filipino television directors at all smells of racism as it implies that simply being Filipino prevents notability.
