List of mammalian alien species

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Previous AFD was closed as "merge", but page was never merged. It doesn't even have anything TO merge, seeing as it's unreferenced listcruft. It should just be deleted as an overly broad and unverifiable list that encompasses a vast swathe of fictional aliens (and many which aren't necessarily mammals, just look similar to them).

Perhaps List of parasitic alien species is listcruft, but I'm not sure that the three sources are unreliable as to not prove notability. There exist some corresponding individual lists (e.g. List of mammalian aliens) that are also problematic for similar reasons. – Laundry Pizza 03  ( d c&#x0304; ) 00:18, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Here are some related articles that are equally listcrufty and that I have added to the nomination:
 * List of fictional ancient extraterrestrial species
 * List of fictional aquatic alien species
 * List of humanoid alien species (sources listed are few and unreliable)
 * List of arthropod alien species
 * List of non-sentient alien species
 * List of plant and fungi alien species (the source for the last entry reads like a PR for the game and does not mention "xenofungus"; no others are in the article)
 * List of reptilian and amphibian alien species
 * List of robotic alien species

 * Delete all. including the several additional AfD's added here. The merge was obviously the wrong outcome for the first AfD as it was never executed. Nearly six years later and nothing has been done. All of the lists are WP:LISTCRUFT and obviously not valuable enough to merge elsewhere. Ajf773 (talk) 03:06, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete all for being too broadly defined (assuming these Earth-based definitions could apply at all). The world of fiction is too broad to have such vague lists. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:30, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of fictional extraterrestrials by form as per the first AFD, this is relevant material for science fiction researchers and therefore useful content. Collapsible lists can be used to aid page loading and if it is merge result I'll volunteer to do it, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 20:29, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
 * List of fictional extraterrestrials by form is equally crufty. A merge into cruft is still cruft. That article should likely be deleted as well for the exact same reason as the preceding pages, classifying aliens as such is largely WP:OR and using Earth-based criteria for non Earth-based creatures.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 00:34, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
