List of male film actors (A-K)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

While I do find the list useful, IMHO it is quite unencyclopedic and too massive in scope. Right now, the list has a lot of American/British/etc. actors, but the Indian ones are now creeping in. Soon, every country that has a film industry will be wanting their actors on this list...etc. We should also look at some of the lists this list is associated with, i.e. List of female film actors.

 * Delete. Hard to maintain, and sounds like a perfect job for Category:Male film actors, or could cross/subcatagorize by genre (film vs TV vs...) gender and nationality. DMacks 19:52, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Question. Should the other lists be appended to this one as well, btw? If they should, could someone else append them (if that's allowed)? Shrumster 20:00, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Until such time as you need sublists (eg list of English Male Film Actors). Potentially useful list. Jcuk 23:44, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a no brainer! Useful and interesting list. To delete it would be a shame. Dwain 17:12, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I just want to remind the people above that WP:ILIKEIT is not a valid reason for inclusion. And just because something is useful doesn't mean it belongs on WP. Shrumster 19:48, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I take your point to a degree, but I'd far rather see wikipedia filled with useful "unencyclopædic" information than BS about every Pokemon that (n)ever existed. Jcuk 22:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. While I highly dislike all Pokemon with the exception of Jigglypuff, WP:POKEMON. Shrumster 05:28, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep it's a standard list of people. Just because someone feels "Indian ones are now creeping in", it can't de deleted. It wouldn't be NPOV to exclude them. -- User:Docu
