List of Bangladeshi Film Artists

This page does not satisfy the notability guidelines for stand-alone lists. It was created in article space, then moved to draft space by User:Hey man im josh, then declined twice by User:S0091 and User:TheWikiholic. It was then moved back to article space. Moving it back to draft space again would be move-warring.

Because of its length, it isn't likely to serve an encyclopedic purpose for the reader, and will be out of date unless it is constantly maintained by tweaking. Its purpose for other editors is better served by Categories, since these are maintained by the gnomes who categorize articles. Spot-checking of the entries shows that the persons in the list are all in one or more categories of Bangladeshi film artists, broken down by century, gender, and whether actor or director. So, as a stand-alone list article, it is useful neither to readers nor to editors. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:51, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Normally I offer the opinion that Lists and Categories may have a peaceful coexistence, but this list is better served by a category because of its enormous number of list members. This is unmaintainable. Mine is a pragmatic !vote for deletion. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:51, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. "Artists" appears to mean actors, from a random sampling, and we already have List of Bangladeshi actors, which is correctly ordered by last name, not first as in this list. That list might also be worthy of deletion as well. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:13, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Artists" appears to mean both actors and actresses. I also create a List of Bangladeshi actresses.

In the Bengali Wikipedia, there are three lists, One for the actors, another for the actress, and the last one for both.

I think there should be three lists in the English Wikipedia.

Please check this article, if you think that I make the mistake, then please reply to me.

Thank You,

In English, "actors" can refer to both men and women, and List of Bangladeshi actors has both. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:11, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
