List of alleged UFO-related locations

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

This is a fringe soapbox. In this way numerous pointless articles can be created like List of US military related locations, List of UK military related locations, List of X related locations etc. etc. Pointless article.  Otolemur crassicaudatus  (talk) 20:08, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete there is already a category for this (Category:UFO-related locations) per nom. John Sloan (talk) 20:26, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as a needless duplicate of a category. --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 00:12, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per WP:CLN. Lists are meant to complement categories. With all due respect, WP:FRINGE and WP:SOAP are being misapplied, or at least applied without any sort of explanation as to how they might be relevant, in many of this user's several UFO-related noms.

 * Delete - pointless and uninformative, and as another user mentions, a needless duplicate of an existing category. Gatoclass (talk) 13:07, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per CLN. This is the list counterpart of an existing category, and should be kept as such.  There's no reason to delete this if we aren't going to be deleting the category; there are many, many things we can do with lists that we can't do with categories.  It'd be a pity to cripple our navigational system simply because some people can't make the necessary distinctions.  Celarnor Talk to me  01:47, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Gatoclass. Unneeded, and there are no reliable sources to back anything up. Tavix (talk) 02:06, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete even by my flexible standards for lists, "alleged" and "related" makes this altogether too vague. Possibly it will be able to find some better way of dealing with this. DGG (talk) 04:09, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
