List of people by occupation
This list is no longer manageable. As with all similiar lists, it is always missing articles that people create directly, either manually or through the templates and inputboxes. Much worse, pranksters add bogus information to it and remove useful material, but no one is watching it closely enough to prevent this. A spate of sophomoric edits on 2 July from users in the 203.166.99.x network (see "Sam clayton" VfD for more of their activity) resulted in the complete replacement of the "Musicians" section with a few prank names (among other things), a problem that remains six weeks later. This may be the time to get rid of this particular list and direct attention instead to Category:Occupations and its children. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:12, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. The list became obsolete as soon as we started using categories; it has served its purpose and should now be removed.  121a0012 01:34, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. Categories handle this well, as opposed to List of people by name. &mdash;LrdChaos 14:32, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
