[edit] List of Nigeriens

"Not that I have any objection to this article, but shouldn't it be Nigerians and couldn't it be made into a Category?TheRingess 23:12, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete - wrong spelling.--File Éireann 23:16, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - this is the spelling for people from Niger, not Nigeria. We have other lists like this - see Category:Lists of people by nationality. FreplySpang (talk) 23:49, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Changed my vote.TheRingess 23:59, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Useful list of people who are notable in Niger with red links eventually being turned to blue. Capitalistroadster 00:28, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

    • As FreplySpang stated just three lines up, List of Nigerians is a list of people from Nigeria. List of Nigeriens is a list of people from Niger. Keep. —Cryptic (talk) 02:44, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
      • My bad. I assumed it would be spelled wrong in both cases.
    • Keep. And people wonder why the form "X of Foo" for categories! Grutness...wha? 06:06, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. I won't vote against it, but is such a list manageable? There have been millions of Nigeriens. Logophile 11:36, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete this is a job for a category; a list of Nigeriens has approximately 11,665,937 entries as of July 2005. The notable ones will have articles, the non-notable ones are - well, non-notable. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 12:14, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Clearly a mistaken nomination. - Mgm|(talk) 12:27, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep if it's indeed the right spelling. We need lists of notable people from specific countries. — JIP | Talk 12:36, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep — valid list. — RJH 17:03, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This list needs expansion if anything. Punkmorten 19:50, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong delete. This is a definite category candidate, due to the broad scope and limited relevant annotation potential. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 23:06, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as too broad, could insert millions of names. Jtmichcock 02:18, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per "Guy" and User:A Man In Black. --Fang Aili 16:26, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. A category would only list the articles alphabetically; a list allows the entries to be grouped by field, etc. There are numerous examples within Wikipedia where we have both a category and a list. Engineer Bob 17:21, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
