Superhero debuts
Related to Articles for deletion/Supervillain chronology, this is crufty and ultimately impossible list to maintain. Category:Superheroes already exists- I propose moving all of the villains on this list into the category, and then Deleting the article. -- Wikipedical 20:45, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. The list appears to be useful, informative, notable, and maintainable.  Indices to information are an important part of Wikipedia; few users would want to search every superhero article to extract this data, yet many would find the data useful, for instance, researchers into the development of the superhero genre.

 * Keep. Useful, maintainable, objective index with sources. This is the kind of thing that can be helpful to people doing research. It's not the vague catch-all that "supervillain chronology" is. This is specific. One writer I know has used this article for reference many times while writing about the history of superheroes. Wryspy 22:20, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Excellent reference source. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 22:47, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep There are a finite number of superheros, so how this list is impossible to maintain I dont quite understand. Jcuk 23:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:LIST. - Peregrine Fisher 01:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep easily manageable. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 01:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, this meets both the letter and the spirit of WP:LIST, and is meaningful beyond simple categories. (jarbarf) 00:45, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, This is a useful list. Dawn22 02:30, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
