List of mailing lists

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This list is unencyclopedic and has no hope of ever being complete. There are entire web directories dedicated to keeping track of mailing lists, and even those only cover a portion of what is available. Individual, highly notable lists deserve their own articles, other listings should be left to the web directories - as Wikipedia is not a directory. Versageek 14:19, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT. Also redundant: the notable ones are in Category:Mailing lists anyway. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. wikipedia is not web directory. `'Mїkka 15:57, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I am usually not a big fan of "list of _____" lists (there are some exceptions), however a "list of lists" list? laughable. wiki is not a list of indiscriminate information.  I see blue and red linked lists, so does this mean any any list can be added to the list?  If that is the case, I highly doubt that this encompasses each and every mailing list there is.  Unmaintainable, and un-needed.  Notable mailing lists can have their own article and that's all you really need. -- su mn ji m  talk with me·changes 16:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as totally unmaintainable. There are thousands and thousands of mailing lists. Is this supposed to include every mailing list for a neighborhood, or a college club, or a website? Propaniac 17:37, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete where or how would it ever end?Merkinsmum 19:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete Ach du lieber! No entry for Yahoo Groups?  Seriously, this list will never, ever be complete, given the Internet's nature. Blueboy96 20:13, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as unnecessary directory page.--JForget 23:00, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I totally agree with Blueboy96, this page will never be complete, it could be considered "Useful" but take a look at WP:USEFUL. Also, wikipedia is not a directory, which is technically what this is, (see WP:NOT)-- ♫Twinkler4♫   (Talk to me!)  15:24, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as an indiscriminate collection of information.--Absurdist 19:07, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete per nom., and all of the above.--JayJasper 13:10, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
