Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of film and television directors
it seems to be a textbook example of what  certifies as "wikipedic". "Encyclopedic" is difficult to discern as encyclopedias in general have different standards for lists; some are full of them, some abhor them, but CLN is where suitability for Wikipedia is laid out and we should defer to it. It clearly needs work but there's definitely potential to "add value" compared to categories or navboxes
