List of Russian Nobel laureates[edit]

No need for such per WP:LISTCRUFT. We are not bound to improve such stuff. Greenbörg (talk) 19:10, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Redirect to List_of_Nobel_laureates_by_country#Russia_and_Soviet_Union per WP:ATD-R – Already sufficiently covered there. J 947^{^{^{(c) (m)}}} 19:43, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep:

Per WP:NOTDUP relative to Category:Russian Nobel laureates.
Per WP:LISTPURP, functions as a useful navigational aid, as evidenced in part per the 1,619 page views the page has received in the last thirty days.
Conversely, the category page has only received 126 page views in the last thirty days.
Lastly, the listcruft essay is just that, an opinion essay, not a notability guideline.

@Northamerica1000: I am going to address your points:

WP:NOTDUP says, as a conclusion: 'When deciding whether to create or avoid a list, the existence of a category on the same topic is irrelevant. This applies to both sides of the argument.
Categories are what are meant to be navigational aids, and WP:LISTPURP says that The list may be a valuable information source. The list is not a valuable information source as its content is already at List_of_Nobel_laureates_by_country#Russia and Soviet Union with more information than this article has. This article consists of no prose. See WP:NOTSTATS—which as a policy surpasses MOS—especially point #3 which states that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and Statistics that lack context or explanation can reduce readability and may be confusing; accordingly, statistics should be placed in tables to enhance readability, and articles with statistics should include explanatory text providing context. Also, page views are not a measure of notability.
Same as above; page views are not a measure of notability.
This point is fair, but per my statements above I will not be swinging towards keep based on your !vote.

BTW, I have changed my !vote to 'redirect'. J 947^{^{^{( c ) ^(m)}}} 07:08, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I feel this is a valid navigational approach. Carrite (talk) 03:10, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:CLT; no need to delete or redirect. ansh 666 18:15, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: User:Greenbörg has nominated a batch of similar articles, which have been receiving inconsistent participation. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Turkish Nobel laureates (2nd nomination), a list of five entires, was redirected. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Romanian Nobel laureates, a list of four entries, was kept.

If you participate here, please consider participating at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Danish Nobel laureates and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Spanish Nobel laureates, or consider starting a discussion at Talk:List of Nobel laureates by country. It may be helpful to set a guideline for a minimum number of entries before breaking out a separate article.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, A Train^talk 17:58, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_Polish_Nobel_laureates was relisted, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_Swedish_Nobel_laureates redirected, Wikipedia:Articles for_deletion/List_of_Portuguese_Nobel_laureates redirected, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List of Liberian Nobel laureates redirected, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Argentine Nobel laureates kept.

This is a bloody mess, I have no idea why this was not a multiple nomination. I believe all should be redirected. Dysklyver 15:42, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now. We can hash otu minimums at a VPP or a RFC. L3X1 (distænt write) 02:41, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
