List of Pakistani dancers

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This list just duplicates Category:Pakistani dancers without contributing anything more. It's obviously incomplete (only 8 entries) and it's not clear that all of those even belong in the list (e.g. Nadia Ali is an American musician). Pburka (talk) 02:02, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: it is contributing nothing other than names. The category specified above serves the purpose for the list of people in question. --lTopGunl (talk) 22:26, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete, adds no value that the category doesn't already have. J I P  &#124; Talk 05:50, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Lists go hand-in-hand with categories per WP:CLN.  Lugnuts  (talk) 09:13, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Just because it doesn't have anything particularly useful now doesn't mean it can't in future. Even with the few entries that it has, short descriptions and dates could be added (like other person lists), something no category can provide. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:42, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Several of the entries are links to disambiguation pages, the others are actors or singers, who may or may not also dance - the articles are generally not well enough sourced to confirm this. No problem having this list if there are some verifiable subjects to list, but we don't seem to have that at the moment.--Michig (talk) 13:12, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
