List of Sudan-related topics

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

Is it just me, or is this way way way waaaaaaaaaaaaay too broad for a list? I don't see the value in such a loosely associated list of items and I'm pretty sure this fails WP:LIST too. JBsupreme (talk) 06:54, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Move to WikiProject space. Irrelevant to have in article space. (PS there are many more) Punkmorten (talk) 08:15, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge with Portal:Sudan (it needs so much work). The topic is way to broad, there must be thousands of articles. If anyone is looking for a list of sudan related topics, try Category:Sudan. — ^.^ &#91;citation needed&#93; 11:29, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete a bad case of listcruft if I've ever seen one. Themfromspace (talk) 18:11, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. If someone wishes to improve Portal:Sudan they are more than welcome to do so, but this type of list does not belong in the main article space.  RFerreira (talk) 18:37, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * For the record, the majority of the portals on the front page contain links to pages like these. Zagalejo^^^ 18:52, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment We must have several hundred of these articles in Category:Topical indexes. They're navigational tools, and might be useful to people who don't like to use the categories (or aren't aware categories exist.) We should probably have a discussion about these pages in general before we start picking them off one by one. Zagalejo^^^ 18:49, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment Many of those lists do not belong here either. Just because other stuff exists doesn't mean that it's worthy of inclusion. Themfromspace (talk) 03:12, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, yeah, I knew someone would say that. I don't really feel that strongly about keeping these articles myself. However, I don't want to set a precedent for hundreds of deletions without a larger discussion about these articles. Zagalejo^^^ 05:02, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment I agree on the whole discussion thing, there are pages for nearly every country. Red  Thunder  12:01, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep This is an established type of article. It should never have been nominated individually. I think the opinion at a general discussion will be very firmly for keeping these article. We are weak in navigational devices and should not destroy the ones we have. DGG (talk) 00:58, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Close On preference I'd probably say delete as I don't really see the purpose of these pages when categories (in my opinion) do the same thing in a superior way. On the other hand the deletion of this article would either lead to the deletion of hundreds of others or the decision being overturned at deletion review, if the first occurs there needs to be a general discussion, if the second occurs this discussion isn't going to have an effect anyway.

 * Keep - This list is a navigation aid. -- Whpq (talk) 19:08, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
