European exploration of Arabia

Just a list that duplicates the category Explorers of Arabia. Anjouli 17:48, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete per nominator's argument. This "list" is redundant. Corpx 19:24, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep have expanded and made into less of a list. The external links I have added provide plenty more room for expansion and show how a good encyclopedic article can be created on this topic. Davewild 20:10, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Davewild. --ざくら木 23:32, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Valid topic, just poorly written. --Hemlock Martinis 04:40, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Even though I nominated it. Now that people are working on it, it deserves a bit more time to see if it can be more than just a list.Anjouli 15:38, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, redundant, poor quality, suggests that "Europe" is here since 18th century and is pretty much limited to Britain, missing context, unclear title. Pavel Vozenilek 15:45, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you joking? We don't delete articles because they need improvement, we improve them! --Hemlock Martinis 18:59, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Saudi Arabia-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 23:58, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete poorly sourced unencyclopediac list--Sefringle^Talk 02:09, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand. Redundant with a category is no reason to delete. A category doesn’t substitute for an article, nor vice versa. --SmokeyJoe 03:19, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
