Wikipedia:List of lists
Warning: extremely huge page, probably about a megabyte in length. Click at your own risk: List of lists.

This page is so large as to be unmaintainable. It is a database dump of all pages named "List of ". It's also half a year out of date, and people on the talk page remark that they can't edit the page because it's too friggin' huge. And we have a better tool for that, it's Special:Allpages/List. Delete. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 01:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Radiant and WP:NOT. If it's many months old then it's not relevant to running today's and tomorrow's part of Wikipedia, and it's not encyclopedic.  It has more potential to be used by bots from mirror sites than to be used by WP editors or users.  Maybe there should be a redirect from this quite plausible search title to Special:Allpages/List.

 * Delete just adds more confusion to Wikipedia, and is redundant.--Urthogie 11:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as a list of pages that appears to have been created just for the sake of having such a list, i.e. listcruft. 143.239.138.58 18:49, 26 January 2006 (UTC) Stifle 18:50, 26 January 2006 (UTC) (forgot to log in)
 * Delete It's not good for the servers to have a page of that size, especially something so pointless. Note: I took the warning and didn't click on it, therefore I'm trusting what the good people above have said to be true. --kingboyk 20:00, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete but the set theorist in me is sad... so self-referentially amusing. :) Mangojuice 20:02, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * If you think that's bad, we had a "category of lists of categories" last week... Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 22:53, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Barno, if possible. Else Delete.  Regards, Ben Aveling 22:40, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirects to Special: pages are impossible in MediaWiki. Tito xd (?!? - help us) 02:10, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
