List of American television actresses[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An unneeded list. We already have Category:American television actresses. There is currently no List of American television actors page, so why do we have a page dedicated to listing actresses and not male actors? Tinton5 (talk) 21:57, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Passes WP:LISTN - there are lots of sources about television actresses. Per WP:LISTPURP there isn't anything wrong with a category and a list being redundant, as they serve different purposes. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 22:38, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is nothing wrong with having a category and a list covering the same thing, per WP:LISTPURP, since a list is more easily browsed, and since a list allows tracking removals. The fact that some other article does not exist is not a convincing reason to delete a list about an extremely notable collection of entries in a field which has had a great deal of coverage for many years. Feel free to create a list of American television actors, perhaps from the existing category "American male television actors." Edison (talk) 23:01, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Rational navigational function for this list. Certainly a bit broad in parameters. The fact there is no equivalent list for male actors is an OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST argument. Carrite (talk) 01:13, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:CLN. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 08:03, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NOTDUP, "It is neither improper nor uncommon to simultaneously have a category, a list, and a navigation template which all cover the same topic. These redundant systems of organizing information are considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative. Furthermore, arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided."

Keep per above. →Davey2010→→Talk to me!→ 04:54, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
