Yet again another category replication RMHED 17:16, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * comment - just to be sure, can someone confirm that it's standard Wikipedia policy to remove list-only articles that replicate categories? I'm pretty sure that it was settled on as a way to reduce listcruft, just wanted to be certain. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 17:35, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:LC points 2 and 7. Stifle (talk) 19:48, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, lists are not redundant to categorizes, they are complementary. Lists can contain other sorting than alphabetic, or can contain additional information that is not present in categories. Should be expanded rather than deleted. And no, it certainly is NOT Wikipedia policy to remove list-only articles that replicate categories. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 20:19, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, lists are complementary to categories when there is more to them than just a list of names. This is just a list of names, therefore it is redundant to the category.  If somebody wants to try to rescue it by making this into text instead of a list, then I might change my opinion.  Corvus cornix 23:08, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * keep Personal opinions have no value here; they are little more than rationalizations of 'I don't like it, so delete it'. Where the WP policy or guideline that says lists (any type of list) should be deleted when a category on the same subject exists?  Deleting does not improve WP; improvements do.

 * Delete, fails Lists. Punkmorten 09:26, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Quote from that page: "Lists can be used as a table of contents", how does it fail that? --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 16:04, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I expanded the article. Please don't use arguments that will apply to a general list, hence be against consensus. DenizTC 22:35, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
