List of educational institutions in Mangalore

Unsourced listcruft. This should be a category - having it as a list adds nothing. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:03, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment: Here's a whole lot more that I think are just as worthy bringing to the discussion:
 * List of educational institutions in Ahmedabad
 * List of educational institutions in Faridabad
 * List of educational institutions in Hyderabad (India)
 * List of educational institutions in Kozhikode district
 * List of educational institutions in Mysore
 * List of educational institutes in Rohtak
 * List of educational institutions in Salem, India
 * List of educational institutions in Secunderabad
 * List of educational institutions in Shillong. Ajf773 (talk) 17:36, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * There are far too many lists on educational institutions in cities, districts and states as I just found out in the drop down list. Literally all of these come under the Unsourced listcruft category. If you are thinking of deleting this list article, I feel all of those can also be added instead of just deleted one or two.

 * I do agree that these may not be required. But there are many articles like this such as List of high schools in New York City and List of colleges and universities in New York City, List of active and defunct high schools in the Archdiocese of Detroit, List of high schools in the Cincinnati metropolitan area. If we take a decision, it would be good to have a collective decision for all.--DreamLinker (talk) 04:29, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * They need clean-up, not deletion. Have a look at what I did to List of educational institutions in Mangalore. List of educational institutions in Hyderabad (India) and List of educational institutions in Salem, India should be moved, the DAB is not needed. Sam Sailor 05:24, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Taking NYC shools as an example, that list article has sources and expands upon the article titles alone. It's justified as a list.
 * This article, and the others listed here, do none of that. They go no further than an automatic category page would. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:31, 11 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep meets WP:SAL. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 03:44, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:CLN, valuable navigational aid for the reader. And we do have a cat at Category:Universities and colleges in Mangalore Category:Education in Mangalore and subcats. Sam Sailor 05:24, 11 December 2017 (UTC) Ammended Sam Sailor 09:12, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * What "value" does it create for a reader, that is any more than what we get far more easily from the category page? I agree that "a page which lists these articles" is valuable and necessary. But that can either be a category (which we already have) or a fuller list article, like NYC schools, which this is not and we appear unlikely to get. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:33, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Then I will quote from WP:CLN: "Categories, lists, and navigation templates are three different ways to group and organize articles. Although they each have their own advantages and disadvantages, each method complements the others." and call WP:NOTDUPE to attention: "Furthermore, arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided." Whatever state some unlinked list article about NYC schools is in, could serve as an inspiration for other list articles, but it is not a reason for deletion. Sam Sailor 09:12, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NOTDUP, and a useful navigational aid as per WP:LISTPURP. North America1000 13:17, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep The article just needs cleanup, not deletion. The subject passes WP:STAND, and if we have a category that does not mean we cannot have a list for the topic (WP:CLN). Pratyush (talk) 17:47, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
