List of countries with biodiversity articles

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Whatever on the Index of biodiversity articles, but a list of links to sections of articles, especially when linking to sections is discouraged because such links are easily broken, strikes me as overkill and outside the scope of WP:SALAT. - Biruitorul Talk 16:52, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I think it would be helpful information to have - the only other way I think to get at it is to add a subcategory for Countries under Category:Biodiversity, which is definitely an alternative solution.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 17:03, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, maybe that would be several sub-categories: 1) by continent and 2) countries within each continent.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 17:09, 25 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - Yeah. At first glance seems a little crazy. Are "List of Wikipedia articles about/with XXX" OK to have? Strikes me as though they shouldn't be. NickCT (talk) 17:25, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I am neutral on the subject, but if this article gets deleted, please save a copy on a userpage, I really like the lay-out and I think I could use it for something I am working on (an index to country lists for moths and butterflies), see: User:Ruigeroeland/Sandbox3 Cheers Ruigeroeland (talk) 19:08, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep, I've already saved a copy to my user space. It still has all the countries (taken from Template:Asian topic and so on ... continent navigation boxes). The first section of this version has some of the countries moved to a commented out place at the bottom of that section. Feel free to go for the list. I think I had to add in Republic of Ireland, though.


 * I have a couple of ideas for how to display the information other than on this particular article / list page.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 19:30, 25 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:NOTADIRECTORY. Qworty (talk) 00:28, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I am fine with that - I'll blank the page and ask for an author-requested removal.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 01:01, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
