Talk:List of Renegade Time Lords

Delete tag
I'd argue that the two pages, though they contain the same information, serve two different functions as category: renegade time lords is organized purely alphabetically, where as List of Renegade Time Lords is ordered by incarnations of characters, showing in a neat list every renegade time lord in a way that is very readble instead of just every page that counts, in alphabetical order.

 * I fail to see how this justifies the existence of the page. We don't have lists of everything that is a category reorganized in various ways and then we just say the page is justified because of the reorganization. "List" pages tend to be quite rare. We use categories for what you're trying to do here. Najawin ☎  20:51, 1 August 2023 (UTC)


 * At the same time... what harm does this page bring? Yes it essentially can duplicate the contents of a category, but it can do it with ✨ nuance ✨. It can provide additional context that is completely disregarded in categories. I support this page remaining. 21:26, 1 August 2023 (UTC)


 * A: What additional context merits this page? It's a list. By its very nature it eschews context in favor of simply stating elements.


 * B: Again, this argument applies to restating every category as a list page. Najawin ☎  21:31, 1 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Yeah, deleting this page. If we wanted to introduce a class of pages like this, it'd be a broader change and require a thread, I think. But I'm skeptical. I don't see why a "list of Renegades" would even include every known incarnation of every Renegade; seems to just clutter things needlessly, and introduce unnecessary confusion in cases like the Master where the list of incarnations is disputed!
