List of novels
This list would be useless and nearly endless. Mysid ( talk ) 07:05, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are also massive Lists of songs, which I also think should be deleted, but that's another vote... TheCoffee 07:17, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Lists of songs is, unlike this article, a list of lists. Notice the plural in the title. Uncle G 11:05, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Do people even bother to read What Wikipedia Is Not before they start these lists?  Clearly, this is a violation of Indiscriminate Collection of Information.2: Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics.  The Literate Engineer 08:31, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per The Literate Engineer. I like lists, but not when they are unformatted and not capitalized. For such large groups, a category is better. - Mgm|(talk) 10:05, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Like Category:Novels ? &#9786; Uncle G 11:05, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pointless (and inaccurate - several non-novels listed) Barnabypage 15:09, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, category is sufficient. Dcarrano 16:41, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. Illegible and virtually useless. Not to mention it could be argued that the "article" displays POV in its definition of what a novel is (i.e. "The Odyssey"). 23skidoo 16:52, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per above and comment: does this also spell the end for list of albums? Flowerparty 18:48, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment, No, because like the Lists of songs article, it is a list of lists, and therefore maintainable. Cyclone49 07:09, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * It links to other lists, but essentially it's a comprehensive list of theoretically all albums, listed by performer (cf. Category:Albums by artist). See Wikiproject Albums where current policy is that when an album page is created that page must be added to the list. Flowerparty 10:23, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Impossible. — Sesel wa  19:30, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect &rarr; Category:Novels. …Markaci 2005-07-23 T 00:45:37 Z
 * Delete unmaintainable list. JamesBurns 04:15, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Huge, impossible to maintain, rather pointless Cyclone49 07:09, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
