Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Lists

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Lists. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Lists|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Lists. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

[edit]
List of statements by Israeli officials cited as genocidal (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Mostly a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of Intent and incitement in the Gaza genocide#Statements by Israeli officials. The main article presents the material in a more encyclopedic format: it focusses more on what has received more secondary coverage and includes balancing and contextual information about the subject from reliable sources. This page just presents quotes sorted alphabetically by speaker, sourced almost exclusively to primary sources. Proposing therefore to redirect instead of duplicating the material in this form. Samuelshraga (talk) 20:36, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep
  • WP:REDUNDANTFORK says It becomes a problem when there are two articles about the exact same thing, or any two pages of the same type covering the same thing as each other, such as two outlines, two portals, two templates, two categories, etc. This is a list and the other is a corollary prose article, so they clearly qualify as not being two pages of the same type covering the same thing as each other and therefore WP:REDUNDANTFORK does not apply. I made this point before but I think relitigating this argument here is warranted.
  • I'd like people who nominated for deletion to explain precisely why having a mainspace article and a list on the same topic is not permitted here but is permitted in other pages. Because every criticism made of the list seems broadly applicable to all lists across Wikipedia as a whole about topics that are notable enough to have their own corollary prose articles about the same topic. For example, why doesn't all criticism of this article on behalf of being an "unhelpful list better existing in more encyclopedic prose format" (the gist of the non-WP:ASPERSION counterarguments as I understand them) also apply to merging List of Puerto Rican flags into Flag of Puerto Rico, or deleting List of Puerto Rican flags (a Good Article) altogether? Even still, I can understand merging a lot more than deleting altogether, whereas pertaining to attempts at fully deleting the list as a whole without in any capacity preserving the information in the list—I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more than a little suspicious this is an attempt to WP:CENSOR information that clearly meets Wikipedia's WP:NOTABILITY criteria.

  1. Please refrain from casting aspersions by saying that this is an attempt to WP:CENSOR information that clearly meets Wikipedia's WP:NOTABILITY criteria.
  2. Appealing to NOTCENSORED to justify inclusion is a bad argument.
SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 14:38, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not appealing to WP:NOTCENSORED to justify inclusion. I'm appealing to WP:NOTCENSORED to show how some arguments against its inclusion are bad arguments, which is very different. Sir Joseph said Seems POINTY rather than what we should be posting. This point violates WP:CENSOR, which says discussion of potentially objectionable content should usually focus not on its potential offensiveness but on whether it is an appropriate image, text, or link. Beyond that, "being objectionable" is generally not sufficient grounds for the removal of content. The only broader claim I made with WP:CENSORSHIP was pertaining to attempts at fully deleting the list as a whole without in any capacity preserving the information in the list, which does not include everyone advocating for its deletion. Even if you don't like this list, the information should clearly be, at least in part, migrated elsewhere per WP:OVERLAP (which says if there are two or more pages on related subjects that have a large overlap that this is a reason to merge, rather than delete, the pages) and WP:ATD-M which reaffirms this conclusion. Alexandraaaacs1989 (talk) 15:38, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Which is why I agree the article should be merged if it is not kept. I agree that it should not be outright deleted. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 15:50, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Gotcha - in that case nothing I said about WP:CENSORSHIP applies at all to you. And happy to clarify. Alexandraaaacs1989 (talk) 16:03, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Alexandraaaacs1989: Thank you for the clarification. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 15:54, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We are !voting on this article not those other ones and WP:OTHERSTUFF is not a reason to keep an article so I based my !vote on this article being a redudant fork not on those other articles. GothicGolem29 (Talk) 15:07, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like people who nominated for deletion to explain precisely why having a mainspace article and a list on the same topic is not permitted here but is permitted in other pages. This is a WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 15:10, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
GothicGolem29 SuperPianoMan9167
No, this is not a WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument. That would be me saying "X article is just as popular so we should keep this article", which is clearly not what I'm saying.
I am pointing out that some of the logic brought forward, if accepted, could equally be applied as an argument to remove any list on Wikipedia, which is clearly a logical contradiction if we accept that lists are sometimes a good thing to have on Wikipedia and that you can't advocate against a list's existence on the basis of arguments that necessarily follow simply from it being a list.
For example, the opening notes by Samuelshraga say:
  • The main article presents the material in a more encyclopedic format: it focusses more on what has received more secondary coverage [... and this article is] sourced almost exclusively to primary sources - Okay, this is fair. Not enough secondary coverage, which is something we can edit this article to include more of, rather than deleting it altogether.
  • and includes balancing and contextual information about the subject from reliable sources. - Okay, balancing and contextualizing information. That's something that can also be fixed via edits rather than deletion since there's a row specifically dedicated to balancing and contextualizing information presented
  • This page just presents quotes sorted alphabetically by speaker - Well yes, because it's a list. So this seems like a ding against it for being a list since nearly all lists on Wiki are sorted alphabetically (since he said it "just" presents alphabetically).
There's some additional undertones I was catching that seemed to be going after it for being a list, but I don't think it would be useful to focus too much on the semantics of this as I might be a mistaken about exactly what some people mean. I just wanted to nip this line of criticism in the bud by legitimizing the concept of list corollaries to prose articles by providing an example of Good Articles that do exactly this (that would not have been accepted as good articles if this list duplicate criticism logic were true). So no, this is not an WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument. Alexandraaaacs1989 (talk) 15:58, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Alexandraaaacs1989 Clarification then: When stated that you wanted the editors !voting for delete to explain why and then pointed out that there are other lists that are permitted was that an argument from you to keep the article?. If you were just making a point on future ramifcations without trying to argue that other lists have been permitted then I can accept it was not other stuff but if it was an argument to keep it then yeah it is OTHERSTUFF as you are pointing out other articles exist and so this one should too. And I am somewhat skeptical that this would be applied to every list if this is redirected or deleted but that is a matter for after this afd I do not see that as a reason to keep this article. GothicGolem29 (Talk) 20:32, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As @Alexandraaaacs1989 said, they already argued on talk that This is a list and the other is a corollary prose article, so they clearly qualify as not being two pages of the same type covering the same thing as each other and so WP:REDUNDANTFORK doesn't apply. I answered them there that when WP:REDUNDANTFORK talks about two pages of the same type it lists: two outlines, two portals, two templates, two categories, etc - the examples are all types of pages in terms of the wikipedia project (e.g. you can have a category page and a mainspace page on the same topic). These two pages are both mainspace articles, which is one type.
Their argument about Puerto Rican flags is not one I feel competent to argue on the merits - for all I know there is a redundant content fork there. Anyway, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reasonable argument for either inclusion or deletion really. As for the rest, the less said the better. Samuelshraga (talk) 17:25, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Fugazi Live Series discography (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I redirected this to Fugazi Live Series as this is a series of downloads made available by the band (the source given for all of these is the record company owned by the band, not an independent site). The band is very notable, the physical releases of the Live Series are presumably notable, but this discography (basically a list of nearly all their concerts: the complete page would apparently list 898 available downloads!) is not a notable subtopic. Fram (talk) 14:34, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On the contrary, I think it is a notable subtopic, since it is interesting and other people may find it so. Many other pages have subtopics very similar to this, such as Dischord Records having a subtopic that's solely their discography. How is this any different?

This is a WP:CFORK of Blockade of the Gaza Strip. The material is already covered in the parent article, which is more comprehensive, better maintained, and regularly updated. This page has not seen meaningful updates in a long time and does not add any substantial independent coverage beyond what is already included elsewhere. Keeping it only leads to unnecessary duplication and fragmented coverage. If deletion fails, I would also be fine with a redirect to the parent article instead.

PRODded because the article contains only a list of toys and a basic description (WP:NOTCATALOG and WP:PLOTONLY), with almost no sources. The PROD rationale was contested because it suggested other options may exist, but it did not elaborate:

I think this page is starting to get very bloated seeing that it is just doing nothing but just list down some new releases to buy. Would probably want this one deleted per wiki rules but I guess it depends if some people would go through it.
— User:Blackgaia02 03:05, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

The page has existed in this state since creation in 2006, and it has been tagged for notability since 2016. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 19:47, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is what I said myself. I could agree for a deletion or merging without the Chogokin article itself and remove the catalogue itself. More importantly, it needs to have some reliable source too about its history. BlackGaia02 (talkpage if you dare) (talk) 08:42, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per above. An editor from Mars (talk) 10:05, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep it has 3 entries, not 2, and the article was created to distinguish it from Morocco's list, since stadiums in Western Sahara were previously included there as if they were in Morocco, which they are not. The region is occupied by Morocco. Regioncalifornia (talk) 13:04, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The third one does not exist yet and has no article. Mccapra (talk) 15:08, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It can be created, and that's not a valid reason either. Plus, there are other stadiums that have not been included. I see no reason to remove it. Regioncalifornia (talk) 22:52, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have any sources for these? If so, you should include it so that it passes the requirement for a list. Western Sahara, even the part that is occupied by Morocco, is not a very populated or rich place. So, using Occam's razor, we can conclude that there probably aren't that many football stadiums. User:Easternsahara 03:04, 18 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect into List of football stadiums in Morocco. While I support the independence of the Western Sahara, all of these museums are built on land occupied by Morocco, and are built by Moroccans. Normally, this wouldn't be enough grounds for deletion but, admittedly, there aren't enough entries in this list. I entirely oppose deletion because this is sourceable information which can reasonably be included in the Morocco page and it is a plausible search term, supporting the case for redirection. I would like to ask the nominator to reconsider deletion because of my arguments. User:Easternsaharareview this 06:51, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of U.S. states by standard octane ratings (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I'm nominating this list for deletion because it is trying to enumerate something that doesn't exist: states don't have "standard octane ratings". They do usually have "octane rating standards", which is an exercise in metrology. And they usually have labelling standards, such that gasoline of a certain rating must be labeled as such, or using certain words like "economy" or "E15".

But states do not specify that fuels can only be sold if they are of a certain octane rating.

The article, then, is completely original research. There are some citations, but those are to measurement and labelling guidelines, not to legislation that restricts the sale of fuels to certain octane ratings.

Since state-wide standard octane ratings do not exist, there's nothing to rebuild and nothing to merge or salvage here. mikeblas (talk) 17:29, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Marilyn Monroe in popular culture (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I've really gone through this list as best as I can, but it's hard to find almost anything worth salvaging. The section in Marilyn Monroe's biography provides more relevant information than this entire article. This article is full of completely irrelevant and completely unnotable mentions of her in popular culture. Large swaths are completely uncited or reference primary sources without showing any notability. Only a small handful of the content present here is useful, and really the relevant information is already at Marilyn Monroe's main article. aaronneallucas (talk) 01:06, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Actors and filmmakers, Women, Popular culture, Lists, and United States of America. aaronneallucas (talk) 01:06, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep, seriously? Needs some work but not deletion. Monroe's image and legacy is at the peak of United States popular culture. Randy Kryn (talk) 01:10, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree, but this article really doesn't focus on Monroe's image or legacy. It doesn't even discuss it the tiniest bit! It's really just a bunch of trivial mentions in popular culture. Virtually everything would have to be deleted and then still completely reworked. I'm not arguing this page shouldn't exist. I'm arguing that this page really can't exist in the state it is in at the moment at all, to the point that the page isn't even slightly useful to a reader. aaronneallucas (talk) 01:50, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Her life and image are covered in her main article, this is coverage of her impact on popular culture, which is considerable. I disagree on deleting entries, they should be similarly presented though and the talk page covers the "too big to chew" attempt at tabling of two months ago which should be reversed to before the attempt but the sections moved to order of importance as suggested there. But this deletion attempt is not the way to go, with the first step being bringing the page back to before the tabling and then change the section order. Randy Kryn (talk) 06:30, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Brought the page back to before the failed tabling. Randy Kryn (talk) 16:05, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    My honest opinion is that if we don't delete almost all of the entries, the article will never be taken out of the maintenance backlog. Patrolling the backlog is how I found it. I often work on correcting trivia sections in articles, and if I applied my typical methods, nearly everything would be deleted, and what would be left is better summarized at her main article. This article, ideally, shouldn't even be a list at all. It should be about extensive coverage of her life as a pop culture figure. I genuinely believe that draftifying or blowing it up would be eventually be more likely to create a viable article on this topic. aaronneallucas (talk) 16:29, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per above. She is notable and this article deserves to stay Wikiman2230 (talk) 01:20, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Of course Monroe is notable; I doubt anyone would ever say otherwise. But her notability doesn't have any bearing on this specific article. Even then, the topic of "Monroe in popular culture" can very well be notable, and we still may want to delete this article.

I highly suspect that the topic really is notable as others have also said (whether or not it needs a separate page or can live at her main bio article is a separate issue I guess), but this is so far away from it that there's no reason to keep it. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 15:52, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and cleanup - Add the {{cleanup AfD}} template to the article. The article itself has issues, but it has received significant traffic spikes in the past that correlate with the Marilyn Monroe article, while it is also worth noting that Marilyn's article links to this one. Oakchris1955 (talk) 16:35, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This should not be a list article. It would probably work as a prose article and/or a series of list articles each with more narrow scopes, but the current approach is not the way to go.

Similar to the AfD on List of ABS-CBN specials aired, this list falls under WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. It serves no purpose other than to promote the station by showing the type of content it has previously aired. There is nothing that talks about the list as a whole so also fails WP:NLIST.

Similar to the AfD on List of ABS-CBN specials aired, this list falls under WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOTEVERYTHING.

As noted on the talk page, I'm not sure how we would come up with a coherent, source-based definition of what constitutes a "minor" Greek mythological figure. As such, I think this article fails WP:LISTCRITERIA, which asks that inclusion criteria are unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources, and asks us to [a]void original or arbitrary criteria that would synthesize a list that is not plainly verifiable in reliable sources. – Michael Aurel (talk) 01:33, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The two reasons I've seen in this discussion for keeping the article are BD2412's claim that it lists figures who are neither deities nor mortals not creatures, which hopefully we can all agree is untrue, and Dream Focus's statement that "Minor" means not much information about them exist, which, while of course correct, doesn't address how we would source which figures meet this criterion.
I'll provide a simpler version of my question above: how would we, using reliable sources, determine which of Achlys, Hygieia, and Peitho are "minor" and which aren't? We need to be able to do this, as WP:LISTCRITERIA states that: In cases where the membership criteria are subjective or likely to be disputed, it is especially important that inclusion be based on reliable sources given with inline citations for each item. I'm not awfully convinced there's much here worth salvaging, but I wouldn't have an issue with merging the current list to List of mortals in Greek mythology, as almost all of the figures here are mortals. – Michael Aurel (talk) 04:37, 18 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Natg 19 (talk) 04:45, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I agree the WHO database is flawed as the sole source. However, because there is already a source for this article that interprets the primary data (WHO database) to create a ranked list of cities, this really falls under "meet notability and can be improved". There are also other potential sources with ranked lists or more globally inclusive data: IQAir, USA Today, Earth.org, World Air Quality Index Project, American Lung Association, World Economic Forum, Forbes, World Atlas, CSR Universal Sustainability Library, Climate Action, NBC News, CBS News.

  • Delete per Mangoe. This sits squarely in the crosshairs of WP:NOT. There is no way to make this a reasonable WP article. No amount of editing can fix the underlying issues. To justify its existence, this list has to take such a specific measure, from one single database, for only one small range of years, for data which changes considerably year-by-year. This is no way to create a list article. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:26, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. My impression on reading the title alone was "that's cool and I want to keep it." I read the article's main text and examined its sources. It's narrow, but it's notable enough to merit keeping this useful page. Zero objection to adding "in the period from 2010 to 2022" if that makes anyone feel better about it. Perhaps some kind of "last updated MONTH YEAR" tag would be appropriate. Darkfrog24 (talk) 22:00, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Sourcing is already adequate for a keep. A bit more context about particulate pollution at the top of the list would be helpful.

After six years, the only ship in this list was decommissioned in 1865, 1870, 1874 and 1877. This is clearly not a defining characteristic (unlike scrapping) and there seems to be no interest in turning this into an actual list instead of a single-entry page.

List of board games (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Big sigh. The list has no inclusion criteria and it even admits, verbatim, that This list is hopelessly incomplete, as there are tens of thousands of board games in the market.". With only two footnotes for the lead (about the concept of board games in general), it is effectively unreferenced. In addition, instead of listing games alphabetically, it imposes a convoluted one-dimensional categorization scheme, which means that board games are semi-randonly assigned to only one subcategory, such as "Two-player board games" or "Economics strategy games" (of course, most games belong to multiple such categories, and the list includes only a few arbitrary ones). The topic is too broad to make sense as a list. At best it can be coverted to a disambig or a list of lists such as List of abstract strategy games or List of Japanese board games, also I am unsure whether even these makes sense. But we have a List of video games in the "list of lists" format, so maybe this one can be coverted to this version as well. But in the current layout it's WP:TNT material (it would probably be easier to ask an AI to look at related categories and just make a list of relevant lists from scratch than try to clean up this mess...).

  • I'm a keep. Yes, it's perfectly valid as a category, but many of our readers have no clue whatsoever that categories exist, or how to use them. Navigational lists can exist in parallel with categories as an alternative way to "index" Wikipedia's articles.
