Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of female directors
per .  That there are far fewer |notable female directors than male makes the topic |worthy of a list, and in this case, gender is THE fundemental and discriminating factor that sets this list apart.  And in NOT being indescriminate, this article meets the criteria at ... through PURP in being a valuable information source with internally linked terms. And important to remember, lists and categories are not interchangable and OTDUP|redundancy of lists and categories is beneficial |because the two work together in enlightening our readers.  And most important, lists are more readily navigable by readers, while categories are less navigable and cannot be edited directly to add or remove entries.  I agree that for the sake of clarity (unless this article is intended to later inlcude notable female theater directors), a rename to List of female film and television directors will better serve our readers.  And to the nominator, |arguments about what we do not have is a better reason to create content than to delete
