• Delete adds nothing to the category. John Vandenberg 06:49, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete detailed to a silly degree. Usedup 07:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete lists of people without explicit objective membership criteria. Lists are useful if membership of the list implies notability, and red links can show missing articles in Wikipedia. --Scott Davis ^Talk 09:19, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

• Comment As currently written, the article appears to just be a list of names in the category. However, it seems like it would be possible for the list article to be improved by, instead of simply listing the names, also listing some ancillary summary information next to each person's name such as where they are from or some notable performances, etc. By providing auxilliary information not found in a simple category listing the list article could serve to enhance the category rather than simply be redundant with it.

• Keep and improve. No such thing as a list thats redundant to a category. Jcuk 21:39, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

• Yes there is -- this one! :-) In its current form, the list does the same task this list does. If someone wants to expand this list before the Afd is closed, then someone cares about building a nice list and its worth reconsidering. John Vandenberg 23:50, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
• A list is redundant to a category if it does not have more information than a name for each entry, or red links for all other (verifiable) members of the list category who do not yet have articles. --Scott Davis ^Talk 00:26, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. I would support retention of this list if it meant the conditions outlined by Scott Davis. Capitalistroadster 01:39, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, oh boy, another incompletable list! Lankiveil 11:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep & expand: Australia Dancing has a list of notable people relating to dance. So the list could be developed and need not be incompletable (sic). There are a number of dancers/choreographers redlinked in articles (e.g., Leigh Warren, Meryl Tankard) who appear notable who should be on a list. Other information, could include, companies, style, period active, etc. Paul foord 03:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep & expand per Paul foord. --Candy-Panda 08:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
