This recent swathe of attempted deletions of articles on fantasy and science fiction topics makes me uncomfortable, as it suggests that some editors are having fun getting rid of valid content, which is certainly not what Knowledge is all about. We delete rubbish and very minority interest material. We do not usually delete material that is central to major literary works and games. -- 634:
Neither supports the existence of this list. CLN does not require lists for categories. It’s simply seen as a positive thing in general. Editors may come to the consensus that a list is inappropriate. I don’t think there’s a single notable article in the category anyway. The list fails to establish

its own notability, and there is no argument on how this list helps a general reader any more than three summary style paragraphs about gods and religion in a main article. It’s content for fans by fans that belongs on a fan wiki.

constitutes a valuable list article for an encyclopedia. In general, the nomination of the individual D&D articles for deletion have more merit than the list articles that are being deleted.

this is central rather than fancrufty - and overall, either way, let's face it, this is indeed "very minority interest material". --
