List of famous sites

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:NOT of loosely associated topics. Little connection between lists of "mosques", "waterfalls", "United States military bases", "walls", "zoos", etc. WP:NOT as well as these lists could include anything from a house up to the Grand Canyon. Masaruemoto 01:32, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment this is a list of lists rather than a list of the sites themselves; if kept, it should be moved to "Lists of famous sites" or something. cab 03:20, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. — T aggard  ( Complain ) 03:21, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as indiscriminate, huge list. Useight 06:31, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Hardly huge, it's about one screen long because, as stated above, it is a list of lists. E.g. the individual entries are links to other list articles like List of waterfalls and List of famous streets; it is not a list which covers everything from Niagara Falls to Nathan Road. cab 07:19, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - too poorly defined inclusion criterion makes this unmaintainable. --Haemo 06:40, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Change name to list of lists of famous sites. It's actually a useful organizational tool IMHO.  I agree that if it listed the sites directly, it would be a nightmare, but I think it is nice to see in one place all the lists we have related to famous places. Capmango 06:43, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete, unmaintainable, highly unclear classification. Pavel Vozenilek 13:07, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Category:Lists of buildings and structures provides a better classification of the topic, at least for buildings and structures. I don't think World Heritage Site or some of the non-structure sites are in there, but in any case the categorization schemes work better than this list.  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 15:15, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom, interestingly "sites" can mean geographic or man-made features of varying scales so "Versailles" is a site, but so is the "Palace of Versailles", and so is the "Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles", which leads to an infinite and perhaps overlapping list, and "sites" may be where certain events have occurred that have no discernable remains, which would be hard to categorize.

 * DeleteWP:Not a list and would be better suited as a category, which I think has already be created. Can't be sure though. W1k13rh3nry 20:51, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * never mind about the "can't be sure though"... Category:Lists of buildings and structures as Elkman said.
