a list of 3 articles, after years of editing, means we dont need this list of "lists". how does this in any help navigate the project? Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:35, 19 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - Looking at this edit, I'm wondering why this was all removed from the lit page. - jc37 06:05, 19 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. I've restored some of the list entries that were removed without much explanation. It's still not a massive list, but it's a slightly more legitimate navigational aid than it was before. DoctorKubla (talk) 08:40, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment well thats better. in retrospect, i could have checked the edit history. but why would someone remove legit items (that they may feel are not legit), reduce to this level, and not themselves afd it? odd editing behavior. If an admin wants to presume im withdrawing, thats fine. my main argument is now gone.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:33, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep lists of lists have a legitimate navigational purpose, no reason for deletion applies. Jclemens (talk) 20:52, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep One editor seems to have gone through and deleted most of that article previously. I added one thing back in.  Looking over the rest to see.  Anyway, as I said in the first AFD, this article is a valid Wikipedia list article as it list blue links to other articles, all grouped by having something in common.
