List of Turkish scientists[edit]

Yet another replication of a Turkish category RMHED 16:55, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, redundant to Category:Turkish scientists. Stifle (talk) 19:51, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, lists are not redundant to categorizes, they are complementary. List can contain other sorting than alphabetic, or (as in this case) contain additional information that is not present in categories. Should be expanded rather than deleted. --Cpt.

Delete, lists are not redundant to categories when they contain text which cannot be put into the category. As this is just a list of names, it's redundant to the category. If somebody wants to rescue this by making it into a text article instead of just a list of names, then I might change my opinion. Corvus cornix 23:09, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
keep Personal opinions have no value here; they are little more than rationalizations of 'I don't like it, so delete it'. Where is the WP policy or guideline that says lists (any type of list) should be deleted when a category on the same subject exists? Deleting does not improve WP; improvements do.

- Where has anyone said "I don't like it"? Please don't assign malice to reasoned discussions. Corvus cornix 17:40, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Redundant - this list does not provide any information not available from the category. Odedee 08:48, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes it does, it includes the field of science some of the scientists are working in. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 16:03, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Delete. The field of science is also available from the category, via its subcategories. So I agree with Odedee, this is redundant. —David Eppstein 05:24, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
