Have you seen these?

I have seen Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/List of Catholic Actresses and Actors and Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/List of Catholic Criminals and I read the comments. I didn't vote because I am ambivalent. Basically, I see little harm in leaving lists of facts (rather than opinions like "List of best accordian players") and I generally vote to keep them. However, the usefulness of a list of the magnitude of these two lists seems very limited. A list of Mormon actors, Scientology actors, or some similar small subset might be more useful. I may still vote but I am more inclined to watch the outcome from the sidelines. DS1953 16:48, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

That seems reasonable, you should do as you see fit. Thanks for your message. Doohickey 16:54, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I just saw that you put something on my talk page about Catholics... I think criminals is a little pejorative... because the definition is so variable and controversial... like, some Popers surely border that line in my opinion... but under their law they were not criminals... so... that's a lot harder of a determinate... so I voted delete on that... but keep on actors and actresses. Thanks for pointing it out and sorry about the delay. gren グレン 12:21, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
