List of accounting topics

 * Delete - Not kept up to date - Category:Accountancy is up to date --What123 19:29, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. List of accounting topics performs two functions that Category:Accountancy does not: it presents its articles on a single page, and it lists redlinks along with bluelinks. Melchoir 19:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - you failed to mention that it only has a fraction of the articles, therefore, it is meaningless. What123 20:21, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * If you think the list needs expanding, then add listdev. Incompleteness is not a criterion for deletion in any policy or guideline. Melchoir 02:56, 21 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep per Melchoir. If this article is incomplete it needs tagging, not deletion. AndyJones 12:58, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Amongst other things, it serves an extremely useful function when writing articles about finance topics, allowing one to link across more easily. Legis 16:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Article is nothing more than a bare list, a function better performed by the category. Lists should only be kept if they offer more than a bare listing of the articles in a category.  GRBerry 16:30, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: This is wrong as a matter of principle. Lists complement categories, and both should exist. Lists can contain red links, they can contain items too minor to justify their own page, and they can contain commentary, all of which cetegories cannot. AndyJones 18:41, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * In this case, the category Category:Accountancy does not even perform the function of listing articles! It only links to six articles; the rest are in a subcategory structure that's much more difficult to navigate than a list. Melchoir 18:44, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. category stuff. Pavel Vozenilek 20:51, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
