WP:SNOW. A frivolous nomination, easily rebutted by the discussion participants and by express guidelines. postdlf (talk) 17:22, 18 November 2013 (UTC)reply
we already have categories for politicians. And lists like this (imagine if we created for United States) would be forever excessively long

Keep - Per
WP:NOTDUP, categories, list articles and navigation boxes are complementary. Also per NOTDUP, "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. Lists and categories are not mutually exclusive. If lists get too long they can be split. --

Keep In future the list could be improved with notes and references on the various people. It is a very suitable topic. It does not matter what would happen with a list of US politicians.

Keep As already mentioned, lists and categories are complementary, not mutually exclusive. Should we call this a
WP:SNOW, or continue the discussion?
