As with the AFD for List of hospice-related topics this doesn't have any function beyond that of a category and :Category:Management already exists. It doesn't even have any of the redlinks which seem to be keeping List of BDSM topics alive. Benefix (talk) 19:33, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

• Keep most categories can support lists. They are a useful alternative form of navigation. some peoplewill prefer one or the other for different purposes. it is no secret that i much prefer lists, but I accept that some people may like it the other way. The previous deletion was wrong, though understandable being a relatively small number of loosely related topics. This would be much more wrong, since it is a much more useful and more extensive list. DGG (talk) 03:08, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
• Keep As a workforce development professional, category lists like this highlight the diversity and detail of a subject, which helps me inform others as well as create more accurate subject areas for reports (and my PersonalBrain). I agree that it's an alternate, and sometime more accurate and insightful form of navigation. (talk) 11:34, 09 March 2009 (UTC)
• Keep. Redundancy with categories is never a reason to delete a list, especially since lists, unlike categories, can be broken down topically without the use of separate pages. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:07, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
• Keep Valid list topic, although I'd like to see each entry expanded such that it was not totally redundant with the category. -Atmoz (talk) 17:29, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
• Keep because lists should not be deleted in favor of categories. This is a far more useful navigational device than :Category:Management. And a lack of red links is certainly not a reason for deletion—article development is only one of the purposes of lists. DHowell (talk) 01:07, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
