List of fictional city-states in literature

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The article is a list of largely unverified (and, in some cases, pure OR) cities, many of which are nowhere near fitting the required parameters. It does not need to exist; if it did need to exist, it would be more useful as a category. Nutiketaiel (talk) 20:01, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Because everything in that list is already categorized here. Tavix (talk) 20:26, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep and cleanup- valid topic for a list, and being covered in a category isn't a valid reason for deletion. Umbralcorax (talk) 20:43, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It is if it does nothing more than a category does. Tavix (talk) 00:25, 23 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. The list links the city-state to the relevant fictional universe which the category can't do. - Mgm|(talk) 09:22, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep there is no reason against having both a list and a category, & the list gives more information, such as the work in which they appear Individual cases can be discussed on the talk p. DGG (talk) 11:55, 23 December 2008 (UTC).
 * Keep Everything on it is a blue or read link. Unlike the "fictional governments", each target link is actually a fictional city-state (AFAIK).  Redundancy to a category isn't a reason for deletion (by itself). Protonk (talk) 22:21, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
