 * Weak keep, should perhaps be transformed into an article? I can see this list being useful if expanded and elaborated on. Rhinoracer 15:09, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, what does this do that a category couldn't do just as good? Dr bab 19:11, 19 April 2007 (UTC).

 * Weak keep I think this should be turned into an article. Even as a list it is useful for someone looking into that particular genre. Is there a policy that says that categories should be used instead of lists if possible? (I'm not being sarcastic, just wondering) Pax:Vobiscum 19:16, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep could be sourced and expanded. A category would probably not be good idea because it would be triple intersection - investigators + fictional + for young readers. &mdash;Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-24 23:52Z 
 * Delete - It could possibly be changed into an article/category. — Wenli 01:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - it's a useful list, but perhaps would serve better in article-form. --  Valley   2   city   ₪‽ 05:55, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or Transform to category. This is an encyclopedic topic, if not an encyclopedic article. Thanks, Luc "Somethingorother" French 06:05, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep but rework into an article on children's detective fiction.-- Nydas (Talk) 09:35, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Would make a excellent category though.-- St.daniel talk 12:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. - TwoOars ( T 06:36, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Categorify These could just as easily be a category as it adds nothing that wouldn't be seen tin the category. The Placebo Effect 12:24, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete category not list.SlideAndSlip 14:53, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
