List of superheroines

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. Randomly assembled list with no clear definition. Fails WP:LIST. Escape Artist Swyer Talk to me The mess I've made 14:33, 21 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - per Portrayal of women in comics. This is the logical extension of that article. See also Superhero, List of male superheroes, and List of female supervillains, among others. - jc37 14:49, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - not at all random. Inclusion criteria is clear, so conforms to WP:LIST. Could perhaps be merged with List of male superheroes, but that is not grounds for deletion. Gandalf61 (talk) 15:52, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - No coherent reason given for deletion. WP:LIST discusses different kinds of lists and describes how to format lists in Wikipedia; there's nothing there to "fail".  The closest thing it gives to a criterion for avoiding is in the statement that lists are "subject to Wikipedia's content policies such as Verifiability, No original research, Neutral point of view, and others", but if the article fails one of these other policies, then that should be given as the reason for deletion, not WP:LIST itself. --Smeazel (talk) 16:02, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep per previous keep votes. BOZ (talk) 17:24, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:LIST. No problem with the criteria or organization of this one. --Jack-A-Roe (talk) 17:25, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
