[edit] List of Narrators

It's just a list of people who have done narration with no comments. If it's useful at all, it should be a category, which is what I suggested in the prot but it was removed with an edit summary comment of "(Please do not delete!!! Narrator is a category already. Some of these people act and narrate, so I feel the list is useful here!))"- there is no category Narrator or Narrators. I think the article editor (User:AtlBo) means well but is just a bit confused - he's not very experienced. Jamoche 04:48, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

• STRONGLY Do NOT Delete Jomoche is correct, I do not have much experience, sorry. However, to me it doesn't matter, really, whether this listing is a category or a listing. My problem is that I am having a hard time moving from one narrator to another without the list. I feel that the list will get lost in the article "Narrators." At any rate, I really feel, although I am not experienced, that the list is very helpful. Thanks! (AtlBo 00:26, 19 June 2006 (UTC)=AtlBo)
  • I don't think you quite understand. The alternative to deleting this is not to put these people into the article Narrator, but into a category. The difference between an article containing a list and a category is that an article gets added to a category by putting a category tag at the bottom, and then the list is maintained automatically, whereas if there's an article with a list, the editor has to edit two different places. That's why people say lists can be unmaintainable. Look at Category:Actors; articles get on that list when someone puts [[Category:Actors]] on the page. --Jamoche 22:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, absurdly non-maintainable - and it doesn't have Ringo Starr! Jammo (SM247) 05:02, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unmaintainable, and actually undefinable. Is this for documentaries, or do the voice overs in Life is Beautiful and Spider-Man (film) count? What about books that are written so the fictional character is telling the story? CanadianCaesar Cæsar is turn’d to hear 05:10, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
