 * Strong delete - category is much more appropriate. Matt14451 (talk) 16:52, 24 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Superheroes are listed in numerous sources and so the general concept passes WP:LISTN. Per WP:CLN, categories are not as good as lists in many ways and so we maintain numerous list for navigation and other purposes and this structural list of lists seems fine for this too. Andrew D.

 * This is different to other lists in the sense that it doesn't give any other information than the links themselves. Matt14451 (talk) 17:51, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep A quick read of WP:AOAL shows these two (Lists of villains and Lists of superheroes) check plenty of boxes there. Plus, they assemble everything for visitors. The categories do not. They are here and there. Also, these articles are tied together with a see also, something the categories do not do. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:23, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:CLN. Ajf773 (talk) 19:37, 24 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. This list has potential to provide more information and better organization than a category could. Pburka (talk) 22:54, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep – WP:NOTDUP. Also, many readers don't use categories. North America1000 17:25, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * SNOW keep. The stated rationale runs contrary to WP:CLN and thus is not a policy-based reason for deletion. Regards So  Why  20:16, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
