The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge because it's a fairly obvious decision from an AFD process perspective. If you wish to remove the names individually from the merged list (which would nullify the merge from a content perspective), be my guest. Yechiel Man 11:09, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Broadway musicals stars[edit]

Short list of the "most notable" Broadway musical stars. List was created in response to a category discussion [1] but this short, abandoned, and orphaned list does not seem useful. A list of actors who have appeared on musicals on Broadway should be quite extensive, and one appears at List of Broadway musicals stars. which was created around the same time and better serves this purpose.

Merge; can't see any reason for not merging into List of Broadway musicals stars, they look like they are trying to do the same thing. Fourohfour 15:11, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I considered that, but there is absolutely no overlap whatsoever between the two lists--not a single name. So, I think they're using different criteria for inclusion. This one says "most notable" and the other says "most famous" and while I'm not sure what the distinction is, I was reluctant to merge. JJL 15:20, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or delete Looking at some of the individuals included, I can't really see why they are particularly notable any more than other actors who have appeared on Broadway. Petula Clark has been on Broadway, but she didn't appear there until 1991, and she is certainly not known primarily for her work on Broadway. Some of the others were primarily on Broadway, but somewhat obscure. It looks like sort of a random list to me. Brianyoumans 19:23, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as per Fourohfour.--JForget 23:01, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - or at least move material not repeated in the other list to the bigger list.Bec-Thorn-Berry 08:26, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
