List of cigar brands
This list is unnecessary and does not provide any useful information beyond what Category:Cigar brands does a much better job of handling. If the cigar brand is actually notable, an article can be created for it and placed in the appropriate category. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 20:04, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per WP:CLN. Lists and cateogries do not compete with each other, they co-exist and complement each other. Developers should not compete against each other in a destructive manner, such as by nominating the work of their competitors to be deleted because they overlap. -- neon white user page talk 22:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * While I think i understand what you're aiming at here, this list neither competes with or compliments the categories which are much more suitable. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 22:53, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you misunderstand the guidelines. All categories and lists are considered complimentary and should not be nominated for deletion because you favour one or the other. If one is of better quality use it to better the other. -- neon white user page talk 03:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment. I am not knowledgeable about nicotine, but even as a complete layman there's some value in learning about what exactly are Cuban cigars. The category could not do the same. --Kiz o r  22:33, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Unless there are sub-categories for each of the countries mentioned on this article, in the Cat that the Nom mentions, this Article does do something that would be a burden to do via Cats. Also, a list like this promotes the creation of articles that a Cat'd setup would hinder. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  03:32, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - The list gives more detail than the catagory page can. Darkcraft (talk) 08:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. "Redundant with category" is never a valid delete rationale. AndyJones (talk) 12:58, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Very weak keep - until/unless subcategories are completed to list the nation of origin for each cigar brand. The total lack of any references in this article, though is troubling (leading to the "very weak").  BWH76 (talk) 06:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
