[edit] List of Swiss poets

"This article was started in October, has had no activity since except when an editor added the cleanup tag. The list has only 1 link, to an article that is a stub (created by the same anonymous user). It seems that no one is willing to expand this list, so I vote to DeleteTheRingess 23:47, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep I can add some names. I'll try to make stubs for some of the rl soon. Smmurphy^(Talk) 00:44, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

• Wouldn't it work better as a category?TheRingess 04:52, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • I guess it would, unless, as B.Wind suggests, someone wrote a preamble. However it would end up being four categories, one for each language, and the unified picture of the poets with their respective language is nice. Smmurphy^(Talk) 07:36, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete it and the stub so a new editor can start from scratch and put the whole thing together. (NOTE: if it's kept, I'd strongly recommend someone writing a preamble and not simply have a cold list) B.Wind 07:03, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Useful list. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:51, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. All the red links suggest that a list is better than a category in this case. Punkmorten 17:52, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep reasonable category. No edits since October (when we're in early December) is not particularly long, nor a reason to delete. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:12, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete pointless they have their category. EscapeArtistsNeverDie 01:09, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete, it's a category. Stifle 09:57, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. "Cold" lists have a separate role from categories, and this one has been usefully expanded since flagged for this discussion. --Zigger «º» 15:21, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
