List of journalists
List is very incomplete, does not contain unique, useful information, and is completely superseded by Category:Journalists.

I am also nominating the following articles: List of newspaper writers, List of magazine writers because they are of a similar poor quality, and all three lists overlap anyway. Tntnnbltn 17:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, if I want to find journalists born before 1900 I shouldn't have to wade through the entire category to find them. Kappa 18:48, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - completly unmanagable, and resultantly unencyclopedic and therfore very usless. Better to completely covert to a correctly sectioned category for management purposes. I would suggest before the list is deleted, that all the listed journalists that do not have their own Wiki entry are listed as requested Wiki entries. Rgds, - Trident13 08:26, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * So for "management purposes" we should elimate any mention of which newspapers they wrote for, and any possibility of mentioning what they are best known for, or even what language they write in? Kappa 12:18, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete As per the aforementioned reasoning. Slj 10:41, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
