List of all single-digit-single-letter combinations
List of mostly red links. The blue ones link to various unrelated things, so there's no point in having this. It's listcruft, Delete. Squiddy | (squirt ink?)  10:36, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't like using the the word cruft, but since most of these combinations will remain redlinked forever, I'd say it's pretty useless. Mgm|(talk) 10:57, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep and move to Wikipedia space. They are not subject to AfD (meeting none of the criteria). This is part of a family of articles, for the List of reference tables, the root base for the orphan prevention system, and abbreviation expansion techniques. They are not dictionary entries, although Wiktionary has nearly identical tables to provide a root for its articles (of course). The related tables for three-letters were moved 2005-09-19 19:29:27 according to Articles for deletion/TLAs from AAA to DZZ (2nd nomination) et alia. --William Allen Simpson 13:17, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * In looking at the history, note that this was originally created as a byproduct of Templates for deletion/Log/Deleted/August 2005, about the same time as the series of AfDs on these related lists. There is a legitimate use for these root lists. Lately, I've been using them every day. --William Allen Simpson 14:42, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Is there anyone reading this encyclopedia who cannot work out how to get to the article for the single-digit-single-letter comination of their choice? I don't think so. Just a waste of perfectly good bits. Delete. DJ Clayworth 16:23, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete waste of space. Camillus (talk) 23:46, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Move to Wikipedia namespace, to sit alongside the TLA ones that were moved there last year. (That's a keep by the way) -- Francs2000 [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] 23:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. Completely unncyclopedic waste of space. Zunaid 15:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete as a totally unencyclopaedic article. It's beyond Listcruft. Way beyond. Stifle 19:09, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * MOVE to Wikipedia space, it looks like it was forgotten in the mass move some months ago (back in September 2005) when all such lists were moved into Wikipedia namespace. Move to List of all single-digit-single-letter combinations, and also move List of all two-letter combinations to List of all two-letter combinations. This will make things match the List of all single-letter-single-digit combinations companion page. - 132.205.44.134 00:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * COMMENT the following were moved to Wikipedia namespace: TLAs from AAA to DZZ, TLAs from EAA to HZZ, TLAs from IAA to LZZ, TLAs from MAA to PZZ, TLAs from QAA to TZZ, TLAs from UAA to XZZ, TLAs from YAA to ZZZ ; see the talk page: Wikipedia talk:TLAs from AAA to DZZ for details of the move discussions. And the related AfD page Articles for deletion/TLAs from AAA to DZZ (2nd nomination). 132.205.44.134 00:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Move to Wikipedia namespace. - EurekaLott 18:07, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
