Index of psychology articles

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Index of psychology articles is a monster catchall article attempting to list all psychology articles but there is already 68 separate lists of psychology articles given at Lists of psychology topics. These individual lists are much more manageable. To compound the issue, Index of psychology articles contains a huge amount of garbage: articles on physiology philosophy pharmacology statistics etc, duplication, many dubious redlinks, unhelpful redirects and links to DAB pages. I actually made a big effort to clean up this article see User:Penbat/Index of psychology articles but have now realised the article is pointless and unviable.--Penbat (talk) 12:18, 3 July 2010 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Symbol redirect vote.svg|15px]] Redirect — to Lists of psychology topics. Gosox(55)(55) 15:27, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ahem! Remember that this encyclopaedia comes with a table of contents and an index, which you can find hyperlinked to in the navigation linkbar on every page.  This part of the index is linked from Portal:Contents/Index, and is a mere three hyperlinks from the main page: Main Page&rarr;Portal:Contents&rarr;Portal:Contents/Lists of topics&rarr;this page.

 * Keep part of the Wikipedia index navigation system. 76.66.195.196 (talk) 05:02, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment perhaps all Wikipedia indices should be moved to Wikipedia namespace? 76.66.195.196 (talk) 05:03, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment is there a template to attach to the top and bottom of index pages to tell people it is a wikipedia indix? 76.66.195.196 (talk) 05:04, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Redirect as per Gosox would resolve navigation issues to the article. Lists of psychology topics would serve as a much better index. As i explained, Index of psychology articles is unmanageable, and full of junk anyway. --Penbat (talk) 08:53, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Redirect as per Gosox5555's suggestion. I agree that something needs to be done to get this out of article space. The suggested option seems most helpful to the users. MartinPoulter (talk) 18:53, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Lists of psychology topics - per nominator. Maashatra11 (talk) 19:03, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, as it is part of the Portal:Contents/Index navigation system. (See Index of mathematics articles for a particularly large example, that is automatically maintained by bot. Possibly all indexes will/should end up using this bot-maintenance system? Join WikiProject Index to help us discuss the group as a whole.) -- Quiddity (talk) 19:19, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * "Particulary large"? Are you sure? Your example is a very good example to what should be done in this context, because "Index of mathematics articles" redirects to List of mathematics articles (which actually lists no individual entries at all and is split alphabetically). Maashatra11 (talk) 19:27, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, that example is so large that it was split into subpages! (And there are many pages currently named "List of ..." that would be more accurately named "Index of ...". We're working on it... :) -- Quiddity (talk) 21:28, 7 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Lists of psychology topics  Lova Falk     talk   07:57, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per User:Quiddity. And follow the List of mathematics articles example in alphabetizing. Cleanup will be done by appropriate interested parties, not the ones who try to delete. --SulmuesLet's talk 16:08, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Lists of psychology topics. Redundant because that is what categories are for. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 13:03, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
