Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Native American women
Why exactly is this list being nominated for deletion for? The Wiki is not a list but it contains numerous lists http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=list+of by necessity as navigational aids http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List#Navigation for its users. This list being and example. Neither is this article a directory () Both categories and lists are available but they have very specific functionalists http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories,_lists,_and_navigation_templates,  the list being "user friendly" while the category is primarily a linking tool within and for the structure of the database. Relegating this list to categories will be sending it to the "basement", so to speak. Im going to quote from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories,_lists,_and_navigation_templates#Categories.2C_lists_and_navigation_templates_are_not_duplicative "Developers of these redundant systems should not compete against each other in a destructive manner, such as by nominating the complementary work of their colleagues to be deleted just because they overlap. Doing so may disrupt browsing by users who prefer the list system. Additionally, arguing that a Category or List is duplicative of the other in a deletion debate is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided. Also, lists may be enhanced with features not available to categories, but building a rudimentary list of links is a necessary first step in the construction of an enhanced list—deleting link lists wastes these building blocks, and unnecessarily pressures list builders into providing a larger initial commitment of effort whenever they wish to create a new list, which may be felt as a disincentive. When deciding whether to create or avoid a list, the existence of a category on the same topic is irrelevant."   Source Wikipedia The Wiki must include notable items (), in this situation people. This is the control that limits the amount of content contained within lists. Those that are not noteworthy should be removed from any list, including this one
