Lists of the world's largest organs (was Organs not in Europe or the USA with 80 or more stops or 5 or 6 manuals)

unmaintainable list containing unpublished synthesis of materials RadioFan (talk) 12:45, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason listed above.


 * Why is this AFD on Lists of the world's largest organs but that article isn't listed in the nomination? The article the nom lists (Organs not in Europe or the USA with 80 or more stops or 5 or 6 manuals) does seem highly questionable... but a list of the largest organs in the world does seem like a useful and encyclopedic function of a list. --Chiliad22 (talk) 12:49, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Please see above, I'd not quite finished the nomination when you commented, there are a lot of articles here. The generic list of largest organs may be able to meet notability guidelines but I wanted to list them all here for discussion purposes and since there are 2 generic lists for some reason (pipe organs and just organs).--RadioFan (talk) 12:53, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. There is already List of pipe organs, where notable pipe organs are/should be listed. Non-notable instruments need not have a Wikipedia list, nor does it help to have these overlapping lists.  JGHowes   talk  14:54, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per JGHowes. Efforts should be focused on the existing List of pipe organs article. --Chiliad22 (talk) 16:56, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Silly sub-categorizations do not make sensible lists. Like "Left-hand red-haired tenors." A general list like {World's largest pipe organs} ) would be quite encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a directory, so delete the subcategories with arbitrary numbers of stops, or arbitrary geographic limits. Edison (talk) 19:35, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice. The majority of these have already been speedily deleted at the author's request (G7). There's still one open and running though, so I'm leaving this AfD open. - Vianello (Talk) 08:12, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep The current article in large part is about lists of large organs outside of wikipedia. The existence and nature of these lists is a notable topic in itself. DGG (talk) 04:53, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If I understand your argument correctly, that this should be kept as a list about lists, such a list is WP:OR and would just be personal opinion of the editor(s) compiling the list. Also, as a collection of external links or an internet directory, it is contrary to WP:NOTLINK.   JGHowes   talk  15:51, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
