List of Blue Mountains articles

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Moved from MFD on behalf of nominator. Listed reasoning was "This article seems to have all the information in it that the category also has and has very low traffic statistics compared to other Blue Mountains articles which make this list useless." Glass  Cobra  18:33, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep – At first I was going to agree with the original author and his/her rational for asking for the deletion. However, after reviewing the page, looking at the links and pondering the merit of such a piece, I found myself typing out “K-E-E-P”.  The article/list does provide a one-stop shop for investigating all the articles here on Wikipedia, concerning the Blue Mountains.  This, in and of itself is a great research tool.  In reviewing the articles linked to this page, or vise-a-versa depending on your viewpoint, I found none that contained all the pieces referenced here.  In that light, I find the piece informative – intellectual  - and a great research tool.  What more can we ask of a list? ShoesssS Talk 18:50, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete; this is what categories are for. Hesperian 01:19, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The category Category:Blue Mountains, New South Wales is a more appropriate association of articles. WWGB (talk) 06:36, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep In its current alphabetical form it offers nothing different to that of a category. I can see some potential in creating a list of articles about a region where the list gives some depth/width to the information that the article cant. To achieve such depth/width the presentation of the information needs to be reconsidered, breaking the information in to sections, on places, on people, on events, natural features and politics. Someone like Gregory Blaxland could be listed with William Wentworth, William Lawson, George Evans (explorer) in a section that lists explorers of the region. At the very least if the list is retained it should be sense checked just writing this comment theres two explorers not listed and Wollemia isnt listed though the National Park where the only natural specimens exist is.

 * Keep. This list is comprehensive. The Category only has 29 articles, while the list has just about all, ie about 70. Sardaka (talk) 09:25, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Move to List of Blue Mountains localities (going with localities as there are both suburbs and towns) and make it more like List of Central Coast, New South Wales suburbs. We can still keep the pic, articles not about localities could be removed. Orderinchaos 08:37, 14 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: the title "List of BM Localities" isn't logical, because it's a list of articles, not localities, which isn't the same thing. Deleting articles not on localities is pointless because it would gut the list and make it much less helpful.Sardaka (talk) 09:24, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
