List of rice dishes
Contested prod. This list should be a category and in fact already is a category; see Category:Rice dishes. I see no reason why it should be a list as well, and I'm curious to know the rationale for the deprod. VoiceOfReason 13:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, why not give users a basic clue as to the ingredients and origins of each dish instead of making them play guessing games with a bald list of names? Kappa 13:34, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - 3 red links, which are only possible in a list. Lists can provide more information than a cat. LinaMishima 17:27, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Kappa and LinaMishima. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:47, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm often in favour of lists, but this one serves no useful purpose. -- Necrothesp 22:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * comment it's thankfully not a raw list - it briefly describes the type of dish, which the names alone in a catagory cannot do. I'm begining to suspect some additions to the catagory tools might be a good idea (the ability to brief descriptions) LinaMishima 00:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I too think it's a good idea.  Where in Wikipedia can one make such a proposal?  --Lazybum 22:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You have to go to Bugzilla to ask for software changes. There's a similar recent suggestion and reply here Wikipedia_talk:Category. Kappa 23:45, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Nothing wrong with this list. Provides information not possible in a category. Fg2 01:26, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I can see how this list could become useful, if there were short descriptions for all the entries.  But as it is now, the list is not much better than the category.  I'll probably change my mind if it gets written up more fully.  Lazybum 04:47, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Fg2Doctor Bruno 00:01, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn nomination, as there appears to be a clear consensus to keep. VoiceOfReason 00:49, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
