Why is this page needed?
[edit]Why is this page needed, when we have a category for this very topic already? It seems very redundant and duplicative of the category (Category:Women born in the 1990s). Some lists I can get behind, but I just don't see the need for this one. ~ UDScott (talk) 12:36, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

- I can probably respond with a huge wall-of-text/tldr, but while I think about it here is something you may want to see and hopefully contribute to: Wikiquote:Village_pump#Are_we_allowed_to_create_new_pages_that_are_a_list?
- Thanks for pinging me, UDScott. I am not pinging you because I know you are much better than I am when it come to following talk pages. Let me know if you would prefer I ping you. Ottawahitech (talk) 16:42, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- THat's fine - and I can join that discussion, but my point here (and what I would say there too), is that I do not see the need for this page (or others like it that continue to be created, when they exactly duplicate the purpose of categories we already have here. ~ UDScott (talk) 20:59, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- I have replied at Are_we_allowed_to_create_new_pages_that_are_a_list?. Hopefully my wall-of-text was not too bad? Ottawahitech (talk) 02:37, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- I've stumbled onto this page again after half a year, and it appears that my original fears (as I outlined on the VP - see [Wikiquote:Village_pump_archive_62#h-Are_we_allowed_to_create_new_pages_that_are_a_list?-20231110155300 here]) have come to fruition. This page is woefully out of date and its ostensible purpose seems to be handled quite well through the use of categories (Category:Women born in the 1990s). So, I will repeat my original question: why do we need this page (and others like it)? @Ottawahitech: since you were in the original discussion. [Note: I placed this here since the original Village pump discussion has since been archived, but feel free to start a new one there if you'd like.] ~ UDScott (talk) 18:57, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
