Delete. This was last discussed back in September 2008 and the result was no consensus. It should probably be noted that Portal:Sudan has also since been deleted. I do still believe that this list is not helpful as a navigational aid, as it is simply too broad a subject with the potential to list thousands upon thousands of different articles. This fails WP:LIST and lacks both prose and proper sources, not that it would help the scope problem. JBsupreme (talk) 19:21, 5 January 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * What would some of these thousands upon thousands of extra articles include? Polarpanda (talk) 20:06, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I think that most of this could be incorporated into Outline of Sudan. Mandsford (talk) 21:46, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Looks too unwieldy to be useful or to be properly maintained. Tag historic, Move to Talk:Outline_of_Sudan/List of Sudan-related topics and redirect to Outline_of_Sudan.  The outline is superior for all purposes.  Note the recent "outlines vs lists" battles (WT:Outlines]], which seem to have gone cold, and, as per User_talk:The_Transhumanist, an apparent need for software development before this aspect of the project can take off.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:19, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Outline of Sudan too broad to be an appropriate topic for a list. Polargeo (talk) 13:58, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Redirect and merge any relevant information to Outline of Sudan. Both articles are about the same general topic, and we don't need duplicates. The goal of outlines is to provide a general overview of a topic and the goal of lists is to provide an encyclopedic investigation into a topic. This topic is too broad for an encyclopedic investigation, hence my preference for the outline.  Them  From  Space  00:43, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the outline article, which is about the same topic. A list of all article related to this would be too long and unnecessary, as there are categories for this purpose.  However, the deletion of Portal:Sudan doesn't appear to be relevant here, and the consensus there was not that such a page should not exist, but that the page being discussed was not suitable for the English Wikipedia. snigbrook (talk) 00:35, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
