Index of Australian renewable energy articles

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Delete. The contents are best served by the Renewable energy in Australia article and it does not fit in well with all the other "List of ..." articles (see Category:Indexes of articles). Also, the boundaries will never be as clearly defined as the other indexes. There is no prejudice in this AfD since I am an environmental consultant and environmentalist. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 08:13, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete I agree, these can be included in a See also section of Renewable energy in Australia if not already linked in that article, and it's redundant to the category Category:Renewable energy in Australia which contains most of, if not all, these articles anyway. --Canley (talk) 01:34, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I am not suggesting that they should be in the See also section of Renewable energy in Australia. The index has articles that are more appropriate in other articles, for example individual solar power plants belong in Solar power in Australia. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:10, 9 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. The list is fine. Best not to bury the content in Renewable energy in Australia, but instead use this list as a link in the See also section there to keep things manageable. And the list is not redundant to the category, but complementary to it, see Categories, lists, and navigation templates. Johnfos (talk) 02:52, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree that the contents of the index not be buried in Renewable energy in Australia since may of them are not needed in an article in that level of the page hierarchy eg individual power projects. Also, all of the articles in this index can be reached from the sibling articles of Renewable energy in Australia. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:43, 8 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. These links are better served for navigation purposes through a category and perhaps a template. Neutralitytalk 18:03, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * A template might be an idea but the disparate nature of the articles in this index means that only a small number of links from it would be appropriate. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:43, 8 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. There is insufficient articles on the topic of this index to justify it. The result is a list that does not have a decent structure. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:43, 8 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete As someone interested in the topic I found this list of little help and somewhat counter-productive. As stated above Renewable energy in Australia and category:Renewable energy in Australia provide much better structured overview and navigation. The fact that is unmaintained (from ca. 200 articles in the category there are only 25 in the list) I also interpret as a proof of limited use. --Elekhh (talk) 03:02, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
