List of magic organizations
Delete as redundant with Category:Magic organizations -- Krash 21:08, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak (speedy?) keep. Lists are never redundant with categories. The two serve different purposes and can coexist peacefully. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 21:30, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong speedy keep. MarkSweep is right. WriterFromAfar755 22:43, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * How is this different from the debate at Articles for deletion/List of magic clubs? -- Krash 23:11, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Learn how to use categories. '  (Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!) 00:25, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Learn that categories and lists have different abilities and different purposes. Sometimes something is better in one form or the other. In this case, it is useful as a list, as - as it grows - it can incude information about location, date of formation, branch of magic etc, in a way that categories are unable to do.

 * A excuse to not actually read the articles, then? '  (Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!) 02:39, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * definitely. It's a hell of a lot easier finding the one article you're looking for by scrolling through a quick summary of all of them on this list than to have to open, check and read all the articles in a category. Especially if the list grows to, say, 20-50 items. Grutness...wha?  09:32, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as the category is already sufficient. Stifle 12:18, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, Category:Magic organizations is sufficient, and the more noteworthy organizations can be listed there when needed --TStone 14:20, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
