Violates Stand-alone_lists. The topic is very broad, so the list can never be exhaustive. &mdash; Vano 22:43, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - I'm not opposed to lists, if they provide some sort of organizational function, but this doesn't seem to do anything that a category doesn't already do better. Chunky Rice (talk) 19:06, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 14:08, 27 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep and expand – A valid set index article that qualifies per WP:NOTDUP relative to Category:Engineering. If the index becomes lengthy, it can be WP:SPLIT into new articles, such as those that exist at Category:Indexes of engineering topics. North America1000 14:10, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Is not an SIA per its definition ("a list article about a set of items of a specific type that share the same (or similar) name"). &mdash; Vano 14:30, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Modified my comment above. North America1000 05:38, 5 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - A list about some subtopic is an article where it can be discussed. This is at best a category, and that's it. Serves no other purpose here. DreamGuy (talk) 19:32, 27 November 2015 (UTC)


 * It seems that we have a number of similar "index" lists (e.g. List of mechanical engineering topics). I think all of them should be deleted because they do not contain any information in addition to the corresponding categories, and having the categories is the most adequate way to classify the pages. If they had some additional information, they could be kept, but they do not.My very best wishes (talk) 01:32, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
