List of Western film actors[edit]

Another list with unclear criteria. WP is not a directory of loosely associated persons. And let's not have articles on their horses either. Clarityfiend 08:59, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Listcruft and made unnecessary by the list's corresponding category. Groupthink 09:54, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Um...that's it? Aren't there a lot of Western film actors? And how do you define Western? There are too many problems with this list to make it worth keeping. Yechiel Man 14:00, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd vote for this to be converted into a category. --MacRusgail 22:20, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Deep down inside, don't we all have a little western film actor in each and every one of us? Who among us can honestly say that they have never played harmonica soulfully by the moonlight or opened a can of baked beans with a bowie knife? Have you never annointed saddle sores with wads of chewing tobacco? Then perhaps you just don't understand the love that we share. You'll never know the joy of protecting cattle from buzzards and rattlesnakes. You'll never see the love in the eyes of these simple animals as we drive them on a long death march to their slaughter. If you must delete this article to justify your city-slicker lifestyle full of dandy creams and shiny buckle shoes, then so be it, but you will never erase the western film actor in our hearts. ~ Infrangible 02:47, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're not fooling anyone. I've seen Brokeback Mountain, so I know what you western film actors are really up to out there in that soulful moonlight. Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against western film actors, in fact some of my best friends are western film actors. Indeed (and I've never told anyone this before) one time Eli Wallach tried to get me to act in a western film with him, but I politely informed him that I only act in chick flicks... at any rate, I digress. I'm all in favor of western film actor rights. Y'all can do whatever you want out there on that dusty trail, but I DO NOT want my children stumbling across western film lists when they're looking something up for school on Wikipedia. God forbid my ten-year-old might secretly start wearing ten-gallon hats and jangly spurs. Groupthink 03:09, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
