List of cities in Lebanon

 * Delete There's a category Category:Cities in Lebanon, so why a list? 500LL 16:06, 13 Feb 2005
 * Keep. There seems to me to be a community preference for retaining separate lists and categories. JuntungWu 17:54, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are similar articles for most of the countries. Grue 19:27, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, list duplicates categories without adding anything significant, pointless. Megan1967 00:29, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * KeepCategories don't replace lists. Wincoote 01:22, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * No but this list says nothing. More than half of the listed cities dont exist as articles. A good example of a list that says something is eg. List of assassinated people - annotated entries. Encyclopaedias are meant to be useful. Megan1967 06:26, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Grouping related things that don't have articles is probably the main merit of lists now that there is also a category system. Wincoote 20:57, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep, some on the list may not have their own articles. Wyss 01:32, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Does not duplicate the category: some cities in Lebanon don't have articles yet. -Aranel (" Sarah ") 02:23, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Categories are not lists.  RickK 06:28, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The apocalypse is near; I agree with RickK.  &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 02:17, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, there is already a category for this. JamesBurns 08:02, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
