No need for such per WP:LISTCRUFT. We are not bound to improve such stuff.  Greenbörg  (talk)  19:10, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 *  Delete Redirect to List_of_Nobel_laureates_by_country per WP:ATD-R – Already sufficiently covered there.  J 947(c) (m) 19:43, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep:
 * Per WP:NOTDUP relative to Category:Russian Nobel laureates.
 * Per WP:LISTPURP, functions as a useful navigational aid, as evidenced in part per the 1,619 page views the page has received in the last thirty days.
 * Conversely, the category page has only received 126 page views in the last thirty days.
 * Lastly, the listcruft essay is just that, an opinion essay, not a notability guideline.

 * I am going to address your points:
 * WP:NOTDUP says, as a conclusion: 'When deciding whether to create or avoid a list, the existence of a category on the same topic is irrelevant. This applies to both sides of the argument.
 * Categories are what are meant to be navigational aids, and WP:LISTPURP says that The list may be a valuable information source. The list is not a valuable information source as its content is already at List_of_Nobel_laureates_by_country with more information than this article has. This article consists of no prose. See WP:NOTSTATS—which as a policy surpasses MOS—especially point #3 which states that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and Statistics that lack context or explanation can reduce readability and may be confusing; accordingly, statistics should be placed in tables to enhance readability, and articles with statistics should include explanatory text providing context. Also, page views are not a measure of notability.
 * Same as above; page views are not a measure of notability.
 * This point is fair, but per my statements above I will not be swinging towards keep based on your !vote.
 * BTW, I have changed my !vote to 'redirect'.  J 947 ( c ) (m)   07:08, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: User:Greenbörg has nominated a batch of similar articles, which have been receiving inconsistent participation. Articles for deletion/List of Turkish Nobel laureates (2nd nomination), a list of five entires, was redirected. Articles for deletion/List of Romanian Nobel laureates, a list of four entries, was kept.
 * Keep - I feel this is a valid navigational approach. Carrite (talk) 03:10, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:CLT; no need to delete or redirect. ansh 666 18:15, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

 * This is a bloody mess, I have no idea why this was not a multiple nomination. I believe all should be redirected. Dysklyver  15:42, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
