List of China-related topics 123-L
Either this page has outlived its usefulness, or I don't get what it's about. A nearly unintelligible list of all articles related to China, best covered by searching the category 'China'. There are nearly no red links. Also nominated is its lower section List of China-related topics M-Z. Proposed deletion on grounds of WP:NOT indiscriminate information, virtually impossible to keep up to date. Ohconfucius 07:20, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps looking at the other articles in Category:Lists of topics by country will help to clarify things. Uncle G 10:28, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Categories, lists, and series boxes which clearly states that the generally accepted consensus is that "Wikipedia offers three ways to create groupings of articles: categories, lists, and article series boxes. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and each is appropriate in different circumstances. These methods should not be considered to be in competition with each other. Rather, they are most effective when used in synergy, each one complementing the other." The fact that lists CAN have red links is an argument in their favor. Alansohn 03:48, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. It may be difficult to keep up to date, but it certainly doesn't violate WP:NOT, which lists seven specific indiscriminate collections of information. This is none of those seven.--Kchase T 12:17, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
