List of parks and gardens in Paris
List - non-encyclopaedic - I have added the photographs to the main Paris article. BlueValour 16:38, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or add every park to the Paris article. Since that would make the Paris article too long, simply keep. Lists are a valuable way to organize information separate from the main article but easily accessible. They are different from categories in the flexibility they offer for organization and annotation, and the ability to contain things that aren't articles yet. Fg2 11:50, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Although it's true that an encyclopedia is not just a list of information, lists have their place even in a well-organized encyclopedia. Fg2 makes a brief, but powerful defense of lists, provided that they give flexibility, organization and accessibility. I'd also say that their utlity extends beyond articles that aren't yet written to include the connections they make among those that have been written. We don't want -cruft, but neither do we want to automatically delete any list and list-like article. Does this page show that it is more than just a collection of information? Yes. It has organization in it and thought behind it. Inter lingua  talk 02:41, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. There is no reason to weaken our coverage of one of the world's most important cities. Furthermore, Paris is famous for its parks. --JJay 00:30, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Disagree, it's very encyclopedic -- Samir  धर्म 05:20, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
