I am also nominating the following related pages because they fall under the same type:

Appears to be a totally redundant list with the category they are part of without any additional value. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 03:29, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep argument is invalid per WP:NOTDUP. A valid argument for deletion should be advanced by Zxcvbnm or the nomination withdrawn or closed per WP:SK criterion 1. Jclemens (talk) 09:13, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- List of Scottish writers can include those people as well (and does, with abbreviations), so this appears to be a particular example of overlistification. There does not appear to be a need for more specific lists that merely duplicate content. There are very few other similar lists by nationality that get this specific._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 09:28, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, if this, and the other lists that have been nominated are merged into List of Scottish writers will it make that list unwieldly? i suggest it will not. Coolabahapple (talk) 14:51, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Jclemens. Mais oui! (talk) 08:02, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
