Delete. Absolutely pointless. Why do we have categories? Jack | talk page 15:13, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:CLN categories and lists go hand-in-hand. This is a table of contacts rather than an article, and serves as a collection of all the pages in one place to aid navigation.  Lugnuts  Precious bodily fluids 09:04, 31 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep – Meets WP:LISTPURP as a useful navigational aid to various cricket records list articles. For example, this list article received 2,763 page views in the last 90 days, whereas Category:Cricket-related lists has only received 256 page views in the last 90 days. As such, this article is more useful for Wikipedia's readers compared to the category page. North America1000 18:58, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - clearly needs some work to bring it up to useful scratch - subsections where appropriate and probably to avoid the anglo-centric bias of placing counties before countries, which seems rather bizarre. In general there are some stylistic issues with some of the naming practices as well. I don't personally like lists of lists myself, but they have some potential usefulness I suppose.

 * Delete Cricket is rather a minor sport and this list is not necessary. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:01, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
 * minor sport? LibStar (talk) 02:30, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Sportsfan 1234, you might want to change what you just said. Cricket is one of the sports with the most fans and watchers in the world. Your welcome &#124; Democratics Talk 09:30, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * No closing admin is going to take a !vote like that seriously, I daresay. I'm not even sure it was meant seriously, it's such a ridiculous position. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:38, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep the nomination statement is such an utterly clueless misunderstanding of WP:CLN but I daresay speedy criteria apply here. But yes keep, nonetheless. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 02:31, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - the nominator should look at List of named minor planets (alphabetical) and many more lists. Such lists are necessary especially for the readers, since technically not all readers are users and vice versa. Your welcome &#124; Democratics Talk 09:30, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
