Deletion of List of celebrity and notable guest appearances in Doctor Who (3rd nomination)

Comment: I think my !vote from the second AFD still is as valid as it was back then. Most of the reasons listed for deletion are reasons for cleanup and we all know that AFD is not cleanup, per Peregrine Fisher above. Furthermore,  does not apply in this case. The policy is against indiscriminate lists of loosely or non-connected topics. This is a list with a clear focus that just is in bad need of cleanup and maybe a rename. We have others such lists, like List of guest stars on The Simpsons, which are perfectly acceptable and as such, even arguing a bit of  is allowed here. This is a nomination that indicates a certain dissatisfaction by the cleanup that was not done after the last AFD (that being |somebody else's problem in many !voters' eyes) but nevertheless, the reasons put forward are not reasons that allow deletion, nor should they. The nominator should be advised to use their time instead in trying to rectify those problems - per . Regards

Comment: per  ''Cross-categories like these are not considered sufficient basis to create an article, unless the intersection of those categories is in some way a culturally significant phenomenon''. What citations can people provide that guests appearing on the show is culturally significant? The only one I can recall being discussed in any widespread way was Kylie Minogue. If you take wider notabillity as being the bar for entry, I suspect the list would become so short that it would make more sense to just fold it into an existing article on the show. Alternatively, if you accept that any actor or actress who has appeared in the show can be included, regardless of fame or notabillity how does this article differ from List of Doctor Who cast members

Comment: Lack of references for appearances are not grounds for deletion, and are self-referencing (anybody with a copy of the show can satisfactorally |verify an entry). References for the general topic at hand, that guest appearances on DW get third party |notice are easy to find. I have renamed the list, because although the nominator is correct that 'celebrity' is POV, notable isn't, therefore, now that issue is removed, there is no reason for deletion

Comment: per Cameron Scott. As for "waste of time and space" - it will only be a waste of time for the previous editors if the article is deleted (I really dislike AfD nominations for long-standing, much-edited articles such as this, rather than going through a more reasonable, less destructive route first), and as for |waste of space

Comment: under current title.  When the article was trying to be a list of ''celebrity'' guests in ''Doctor Who'', although the criterion was slightly nebulous, it did have some meaning and potential interest.  It also would have been possible to verify that "celebrities who have appeared in ''Doctor Who''" was a topic of interest in the culture at large (I seem to recall, when Kylie Minogue was in the programme, the British media having sidebars about other celebs and notable figures who'd appeared in the show).  But a list of guest stars who have appeared in ''Doctor Who'' is simply too broad a topic, and heads towards being an |indiscriminate |directory.  ''Doctor Who'' has been on television for 46 years, with over 30 seasons, over 750 episodes and over 200 stories.  A list of '''all''' the guest stars in ''Doctor Who'' would contain thousands of entries.  The subject is just too broad for Wikipedia's purposes
