List of legends and myths
Indiscriminate list with entirely subjective and arbitrary criteria for inclusion. Khatru2 21:22, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Redundant with out various mythology and folklore categories, and pretty random to say the least. The list includes everything from crypozoology (Bigfoot) to religious phenomena (Virgin Mary) to folklore (Leprechaun) to movie characters (Godzilla) to who knows what the hell (The Tails Doll Curse?).  Redundant and pointless. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  21:34, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - I know (as do all other Wikipedians) that there are simply too many lists. That being said, some lists are useful and this happens to be one of them.  It provides easy access to a bunch of curses, legends and myths that can usually only be found if one knows what they are looking for.  I can understand how some might view it as "subjective and arbitrary", but I'd point out that everyone is free to add to the collection, and the few editors that tend the page seem to be open to these contributions.  As a final note, I'll point out that the article celebrated its 3 year birthday at the beginning of October, and this is its first time being nominated for deletion.  While longevity does not imply signifigance, I tend to view it as a sign that an article deserves keeping.  - b o b b y  21:40, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I cannot imagine anything more massive than such a list. Pavel Vozenilek 17:49, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
