List of discoveries of writings

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Another vague, pointless, and poorly written list from the creator of List of discoveries in anthropology (AfD). For an especially bad example of the problems here, see citation note 3.

This fails WP:LISTN and WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE, it needs WP:TNT because it is so poorly written to the point of unfixability, it is vaguely defined to the point of WP:OR, and it was written by a sock and thus could qualify for WP:G5, and in any case should be deleted per WP:BLOCKEVADE. However, before it was confirmed they were a sock, I prodded it; it was later de-prodded by the same user who de-prodded List of discoveries in anthropology, and who is so far the only keep vote amongst 5 deletes. If this does still qualify for G5, I would like to know since I did not appreciate having to spend time on these AfDs.

The author of the article was originally blocked for their lack of comprehensibility and other issues, as can be seen at the ANI report on them. Other 'list of discovery' articles similar to this one that they created have been deleted at AfD. Crossroads -talk- 14:11, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
