Listcruft; the list does nothing that the category doesn't do. Mel Etitis ( Talk ) 21:47, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep - Per nom - "The list does nothing that the category doesn't do"... except allow for further development (see: List_guideline) --Remi 05:42, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * What further development? Adding more names?  The category dies that. --Mel Etitis  ( Talk ) 18:17, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Uhh no. I created many articles because I saw them as red-links on a list. For example several of the articles we have on jazz pianists are because I saw them as red-links on List of jazz pianists. The category does not do that. Also lists don't fall off as fast on a watchlist.--T. Anthony 07:22, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Exactly. --Remi 07:42, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep per Remi0o; this list encourages expansion of our coverage in an area where systemic bias is an issue. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 17:30, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete There is nothing here that a category can't do. Tintin 07:37, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * What about listing notable actors who don't currently have biographical articles? Can a category do that? -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 13:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * If he is not important for an article, better not list him. As far as I can see from this list, it has listed not only pretty much everyone who is important, but quite a few minor actors too. Tintin 13:47, 2 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Move red links to Notice_board_for_India-related_topics/Requested_articles. Lists are often useful, but a category serves the purpose well in this case. utcursch | talk 04:46, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
