List of personalities from Bratislava[edit]

This list should not exist as it the category "People from Bratislava" would serve the same purpose. If they are notable enough to have a wiki article then the category should cover it. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 19:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as creator. Sorry, but I don't understand why this should be deleted. Regarding "the category should cover it" I could delete any List of XX/List of people from XX using similar reason so I don't know why should be some kind of double standard implemented. Besides, in the main article it wouldn't suit well, that's why that is in its own article. MarkBA ^{what's up?/my mess} 20:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As stated on both Wikipedia: Categories, lists, and series boxes and Wikipedia:Lists, the existence of a category that serves the same function as the list does not mean that the list should be deleted. Moreover, no one listed does not have their own article. The appropriate place for the nom's criticism is Wikipedia talk:Categories, lists, and series boxes to get the guideline changed, not to go after lists that conform to the current guideline.

Keep. A standard list in line with Wikipedia's guidelines and customs. Tankred (talk) 14:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
