List of Slovak sculptors[edit]

Fails WP:LIST, as it is neither informative nor useful for navigation compared to Category:Slovak sculptors which we already have. No redlinks, so not useful for development purposes either. Punkmorten 14:48, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, unless he quickly intends to put plenty of info with each entry and make it into a table. Ditto the similar entries hereinunder. Anthony Appleyard 15:59, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It is a useful navigation aide to finding articles. It compliments the use of categories. I don't see the utility of purging Wikipedia of navigational lists in favor of categories, there is room for both. Categories aren't superior to lists. Its like looking at a book and saying I have a table of contents and an index, I don't need both. WP:LIST doesn't say that a list has to be deleted once a category is created or visa versa. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 19:02, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Does appear to pass WP:LIST. Looks like it needs expanding however. See also Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and series boxes. Unfortunately it doesn't look like there is a high chance of updating by original editor or any other editor, but I don't believe that is a valid reason for deletion.

Delete. An unannotated list of bluelinks merely duplicates a category in its present form. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:23, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Can we delete the category since it is already served by a list? Or is that absurd? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 05:47, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Category is much better in this case as being a sculptor is one of defining characteristics for a person (on WP). Having a duplicate is only maintenance headache. Pavel Vozenilek 18:17, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete redundant to category. Eluchil404 09:37, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
