List of Wikipedians by fields of interest


These lists of Wikipedians by interest are outdated, vastly incomplete, and redundant to Category:Wikipedians by interest.

This nomination also includes the following related pages:

 * Delete per nom. Editing on these pages has not been sufficiently active to demonstrate a need for them to exist.  Categories work better. Shalom Hello 23:38, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep; I don't see any reason why these pages should be removed. I do not believe that lists are redundant to the categories.  In picking a random example, I went to List of Wikipedians by fields of interest/O-R and saw the fourth entry BD2412 Covered a lot of American Poli-sci theory as an undergrad and in law school. This provides information about the user's interest that the category would not (additionally, there doesn't seem to be a category of wikipedians interested in Political Philosophy.) — The Storm Surfer 05:06, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Shalom. ^ demon [omg plz] 13:31, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete We are here to build up the encyclopedia, not to make list of different interests of Wikipedians, yes they may encourage civility and a good atmosphere but the categories seem a better idea to me. The Sunshine Man is now Qst 15:13, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above.-- Sef rin gle Talk 05:06, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. With the category, more info is available in many cases by clicking through to the user pages. That's worth more than the odd comment on the lists. Aviara 01:03, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The problem with that is that you first have to open the user page and then find the information, if any. If you are looking through more than a handful of users, this is extremely inconvenient.  — The Storm Surfer 01:43, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
