Alphabetical list of omes and omics
Not one but a whole list of biological neologisms / protologisms. Has no ome in the Wikiome. -- RHaworth 10:56, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, for gods sake. When will people realise Wikipedia is not a listdump? Nazgjunk - - Signing is for Whimps 14:29, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. A few words are not neologisms, but the list is essentially an indiscriminate collection of multiple words whose only common reference is how they are spelled.  Completely useless.  Jtmichcock 14:37, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, list of something that's less than dic defs. - Mgm|(talk) 21:12, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as indiscriminate navel-gazing listcruft. Can't we get the servers to reject any article starting with "list of"? Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 22:51, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Guy, perhaps we should start a project. I concur on enuff is enuff on List of... next it will be List of types of fiber in my navel this morning. KillerChihuahua 22:59, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * You owe me a keyboard, my friend! - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 23:42, 20 November 2005 (UTC)


 * There's nothing wrong with lists in general. We have some stunning featured lists. Perhaps we can write up some criteria on when lists are appropriate and when not. - Mgm|(talk) 09:20, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * 'll tell you one thing most of those articles have in common: they have encyclopaedic content. They tell you (a) why you should care and (b) more than just the bare info.  List of countries where UN peacekeepers are currently deployed is a good example.  Reading the article, you actually learn stuff - the list is almost incidental.  Whereas List of sex positions I'd cheerfully vote to delete, because it seems to have degenrated to a behind-the-bike-sheds snigger-fest. - Just zis Guy, you know?

 * Delete. Every time I think I've seen the ultimate in listcruft, someone tops it. MCB 06:21, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
