Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of bacon dishes
Yes, categories and lists perform different functions, and ''in some instances'' it is appropriate to have both a category and a list on a topic.  However, "categories and lists are not mutually exclusive" is not a blanket argument for creating a corresponding list for every single category on Wikipedia.  In particular, I note that "Wikipedia articles are |not lists or repositories of loosely associated topics.... Of course, there is nothing wrong with having lists if their entries are famous ''because'' they are associated with or significantly contribute to the list topic."  But the dishes in this list, for the most part, are not famous because they have bacon
