Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of former child actors from the United States
We don't delete lists to favour of categories - see .  This is especially important in BLP cases such as this because it is easier to provide citations for list entries than for category tags.  The split between current and former seems unwise as this will keeping changing and so is a maintenance burden.  But the same structure is used for numerous other countries - see :Category:Lists of child actors by nationality|lists of child actors by nationality.  I suggest having a single sortable list in which attributes such as age, sex and nationality can be columns which the reader may sort as needed
