Index of Denmark-related articles

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Similar pages to this one have been deleted recently. This page is not a thorough index of Denmark-related articles, since there are less than 40 article links, and there has no sign of expansion. Templates such as Template:Denmark topics already serve the purpose of this page and are used on appropriate articles and the Outline of Denmark article already provides a summary of Denmark in a factfile form, rendering this article redundant. The only substantial article linking here is the Denmark article, and that includes that template mentioned above.

It's also worth noting that this article was viewed just 412 times last month, with an average of 15 views daily, so it hasn't been of much interest. -- Peter Talk page 16:12, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep – This is a discriminate list article, and per WP:NOTDUP, "It is neither improper nor uncommon to simultaneously have a category, a list, and a navigation template which all cover the same topic. These redundant systems of organizing information are considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative." Also, WP:IMPERFECT (Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required) is applicable in this case. Northamerica1000(talk) 14:13, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment – I've significantly expanded the article since the time of it's post here at AfD. Northamerica1000(talk) 08:03, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that we should keep this article, but I wonder whether its title should be changed to "List of Denmark-related articles" which would make it more consistent with other articles in Wikipedia. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 10:20, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * A little known fact about Wikipedia: Like other encyclopaedias it has an index. It's at Portal:Contents/Indexes, and this page is linked from it. Uncle G (talk) 16:09, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Nice, a portal that indexes index articles! Northamerica1000(talk) 20:59, 6 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - the nom does not really give any reasons, other than it is obscure and there was some other unknown precedent. I need to be convinced that this is truly duplicative and wasteful of bytes. Bearian (talk) 18:30, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
