Delete. A list that adds nothing that a category already does and it contains lots of red links. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 08:41, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Categorize Absolutely has no contextual informationCurb Chain (talk) 11:43, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The fact that fr:Paul Amar, fr:Jean-Claude Bourret, fr:Marie-Laure Augry, fr:Gérard Carreyrou, fr:Daniel Cazal, fr:Hervé Claude, fr:Michèle Cotta, fr:Georges de Caunes, fr:Ladislas de Hoyos, fr:Michel Denisot, fr:Philippe Gildas, fr:Alain Gillot-Pétré, fr:Gérard Holtz, fr:Bruno Masure, fr:Etienne Mougeotte, fr:Jean-Claude Narcy, fr:Thierry Roland, fr:Claude Sérillon (some of the most important French News anchors ever) are red links here does not mean anything: the red links should be wikified instead of deleting the entire article. It's also an argument against categorizing, since categories do not show red links. Comte0 (talk) 12:02, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Comte0; that "to do list" function is a valuable one in aiding article creation. See also WP:CLN. The list can also be expanded to have annotations as in List of American print journalists, and data such as birth date to provide a method of sorting other than alphabetical. postdlf (talk) 16:41, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)Keep per Comte0, and please note that Alan Liefting's argument and Curb Chain's argument are both explicitly contradicted by the relevant guideline, which is WP:CLN. Please see WP:AOAL point #8 in particular. It's not hard to translate the eighteen articles from fr.wiki that Comte0 points out, and I'll do one or two of them today.—S Marshall T/C 16:47, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Nomination is contrary to WP:CLN and our editing policy. Warden (talk) 21:54, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Lists and categories serve different purposes. Red links are an indication of wikipedia's failures, not a reason to delete. Alex Middleton (talk) 00:10, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
