 * Delete as explained in the last AfD, hundreds upon thousands of entries could be put into this list, this is a prime example of a good idea that is not practical. Prince of Thieves (talk) 18:04, 17 March 2018 (UTC) — Striking per WP: SOCKSTRIKE. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 01:15, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete and redirect to Lists of animals; ridiculously indiscriminate and duplicates shorter, more manageable lists. As this has existed since 2015 and changed significantly since then, not a CSD G4 candidate. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 19:14, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete the perfect example of WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE. Ajf773 (talk) 20:49, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - indiscriminate, and potentially unmanageably vast. Kill it before it kills us :p -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 09:36, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect I think the article should be deleted. but I think it would be useful for searches to redirect the article to the Lists of animals article that is a similar topic  72.73.117.105 (talk) 23:19, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * That would be Lists of animals. -- Prince of Thieves (talk) 23:33, 18 March 2018 (UTC) — Striking per WP: SOCKSTRIKE. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 01:15, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
