List of famous bank robbers and robberies[edit]

No actual content, would work much better as a category. KI 01:18, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Valid encyclopedia content. Travislangley 06:35, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I have come to this page often, and I think the content is not only interesting but worthy of sharing. 20:02, 22 February 2006 (PST).
  • keep - Among myriads of lists on Wikipedia, this one is as good as many others. Ashish G 02:12, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: This should be expanded - maybe into a table? - but seems interesting to me. I'd kinda like to see a better adjective than just the undefined "famous". At least use the Wikibuzzword, "notable". —Wknight94 (talk) 02:21, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Categories and lists serve different functions. While this list doesn't include information other than names, it has that potential. FYI, Category:Bank robbers already exists. --djrobgordon 03:02, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Could be easily expanded and is certainly a notable subject. PJM 03:23, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Needs to be expanded. Frühstücksdienst 03:27, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It's got plenty of actual content. No reason for deleting the information has been stated.
  • Keep as per Wknight94. Just like he said, this could be put into a table, and the word "notable" is much better than "famous." Notable bank robbers and robberies, perhaps. ♠ SG →Talk 04:22, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Valid encyclopedic content. Cyde Weys 04:38, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep unless Vote to delete all lists is successful. ---J.Smith 06:31, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete really interesting topic but Ki is right, there's really no reason why this shouldn't just be a category --Nick Roberts 07:48, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The problem with deleting all lists and replacing them with categories is that you can't add red links to a category, which means you cannot create more extensive lists. A list itself is information, amplified by the articles it links to.- Montréalais 08:39, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per above. --Terence Ong 12:58, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete definitely useful content, but better implemented as a category. I'm not a fan of list pages on WP and it is still possible to view members of a category as a list. StephenHildrey 13:17, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete... shoulc be a category.--Isotope23 14:53, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I'm baffled by those who profess to see any "content." This is the perfect example of the list that ought bo e replaced by a category. Dpbsmith (talk) 18:42, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Categorify per norm. Cdcon 20:07, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but put into a category. Duinemerwen 21:39, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, the article needs a bit of work, but needs to be kept as it is still valid content. Ridge Racer 02:28, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into category Daemon8666 15:58, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think that it can be useful to have it separated by countries in which it occurred, something I don't think a category can do. --Mathwizard1232 16:19, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
