 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. If an editor wants to work with this master list to try to create acceptable smaller lists, contact me and I can restore it and move it into Draft space. As it is right now though, there is no support to Keep this list, as is, in the main space of the project. Liz Read! Talk! 18:54, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

List of dystopian music, TV programs, and games

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Wikipedia is not TV Tropes, which is how the article is currently formatted. I have no opposition to a List of dystopian television shows or List of dystopian video games for navigational purposes, however. But that information can be better drawn from the respective categories, and this page would not have a redirect target, so I don't see a need for this page as it stands. Why?

 * Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. This is a crazy wide scope. Even with just one of the mediums, it would probably be too broad. But three separate ones, each extremely broad themselves? Way too much. Sergecross73   msg me  20:38, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Split into multiple lists, per, and only after that is done should this page be deleted. &mdash; The Anome (talk) 22:11, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Agree with split. I am not aware of any policy which would support a conglomerate list like this absent RS'es discussing these three sub-elements as one. Jclemens (talk) 00:00, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: I may make a split later tonight. However, I don't see a use for List of dystopian music when there are no others music-related lists like that. Why? I Ask (talk) 00:11, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:TNT. Almost entirely unreferenced, WP:OR cruft. It may be viable for individual well-referenced lists, but those can be created separately without bothering to use any content from this unencyclopedic list. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:44, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:INDISCRIMINATE per Sergecross73, and much of it unsourced WP:OR. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:01, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete way to broad.--65.92.162.81 (talk) 17:14, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. I am open to creating a focussed list instead of one with such a "crazy wide scope" as has stated above. Bruxton (talk) 17:19, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Lists of dystopian works: Separate lists of List of dystopian television, music, and video games can conceivably be created at a later date and then added to the main list of the lists. It would be preferable to redirect this, and retain the page history so that the creators of such separated lists can use the content of this page as a starting point, if they so desire. silvia  (User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4)  (inquire within)  13:41, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Technically, lankpopsiclesilviaASHs4's solution of splitting makes sense. But would the split list meet WP:LISTN? Do the current lists, ex. List of dystopian comics, List of dystopian films or List of dystopian literature do? I have my doubts. Poor WP:V for the article discussed here is a major problem too. Who calls most of those works dystopian? WP:OR red flag arises. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:48, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Effectively unsourced. Violates WP:DUE and WP:OR due to excessive mentions of trivia not backed by secondary sources. Avilich (talk) 16:39, 14 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete indiscriminate, not a logical article at all. Dronebogus (talk) 14:01, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
