List of Turkish billiards players
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and this solitary, country-specific list of individuals which might or might not be notable serves no purpose that could not be addressed better by a category. Deprodded by Kappa. Sandstein 04:29, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, other similar groupings are put into a category. --ColourBurst 05:29, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Like this one?Kappa 00:16, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete as per nom.    Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  12:57, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. More appropriately served as a category, and additionally per reasons listed by nominator. --Kuzaar-T-C- 14:34, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: As it happens, we already have Category:Turkish billiards players. Sandstein 19:36, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Question Is the function of a list same as the of a category? If yes, why do we have lists and categories of the same subject? To my knowledge, lists can have article names, which are not created yet (red links) in contrary to categories, which can contain only articles created (blue links). Appreciate your comments.

 * The purpose of a category is to keep the users on their toes. For example, they might be just be looking for a multiple champion player, or a female one. Just having a category means they have to click randomly until they find what they want, whereas a list would make it too easy. Kappa 00:02, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, let's not gratuitously give the users a hard time. Kappa 00:02, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, as stated above. Orangehead 16:48, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
