Notable people who were once a cheerleader List of cheerleaders

Redundant with Category:Cheerleaders. Rob 19:00, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Move to List of cheerleaders. Lists are not redundant with cats. Melchoir 19:26, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Now that it's been moved, I guess this is a keep vote. Melchoir 22:35, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Move as per above. -- Grafikm_fr 19:29, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Move, but needs references. George W. Bush? CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 20:15, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- - George Bush ref (note the fifth picture down), one of many. GWB was a cheerleader (literally) both at Phillips Andover and Yale. --Calton | Talk 00:41, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh wow, didn't see that one. I've removed it. My general feeling is that lists don't need references as long as their listings are confirmed by the individual articles. Technically, Bush was once a cheerleader, but his articles don't mention it. Of course, one could re-add Bush to the list with a ref... I'm going in circles.

Comment seems to have been moved/merged/redirected already. However Keep for list of cheerleaders per lists not being redundant with categories. Jcuk 21:18, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- What can you do with this list, that you can't do with a category? --Rob 21:47, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Along with the usual formatting and organization replies when that question gets asked, which you can find at Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and series boxes, one can include the place(s) where the subjects cheer...led. (There's a marvelous example of this idea in action here.) One can also include their present occupations for contrast. Melchoir 22:35, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
A simple list, no. A list with details (the sort that are, frankly, too trivial for most biographical articles), sure. I oppose making it a category, as my view is that if something is not worth mentioning (or is not stark staringly obvious), it's not important enough to note with a category. --Calton | Talk 00:41, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, the category is fine. Stifle (talk) 21:47, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, the cathegory is good enough. --MaNeMeBasat 13:45, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
