Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Polish lawyers
without diminishing the |clean up issues, this is a completely standard index of people by occupation and nationality, as a complement to the category, not redundant to it.  See .  It's standard with this kind of list (any group of X for which not every X is notable: films, books, companies, etc.) to limit it to only those entries that merit articles (of which there are apparently 96 judging from the category, not all of which are presently in this list).  That's not hard to do, that's not a controversial inclusion criterion.  Prune the non-notable entries and that problem is solved; it would no longer be a "directory".  Yet reading through this deletion discussion, it seems as if most of the commenters here are completely unfamiliar with CLN and with ordinary list practices because they can't seem to imagine how this list could be improved.  Like any other list of people, it could and should be expanded beyond a bare alphabetical list: turn it into a sortable table with columns for birth date and death date, locale of practice, area of practice, or other annotations that a category cannot provide
