List of people from Bergen

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

List provides little information that is not provided by the category Category:People from Bergen. Yes, the list does specify the birth and death years of each person, but this is not enough additional information to justify the existence of this list in addition to the category. It is unlikely that anyone would be interested in comparing the birth and death years of a group of people that have little in common except for their having been born or having lived a significant part of their lives in Bergen. Secondly, since it is not dynamic, as a category is, it is bound to stay unsynchronised with the previously mentioned category. Aqwis (talk) 19:33, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. In addition to the birth and death year, there is a sorting by occupation. Lists and categories do not get in each others way, but complement each other. Sjakkalle (Check!)  06:24, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Sjakkalle. WP:LIST allows both, and this is both useful and encyclopedic. Bearian (talk) 20:38, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Lists and cats are complimentary. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 04:18, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Lists can be expanded, plus there are many many lists of these type. -- &oelig; &trade; 05:36, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
