2460:- In the section "Irrelevant Intersections by Race, Gender, Beliefs, Sexuality, Ethnicity, and Religion Lists", the proposal says that "There must be a reasonable amount of solid, mainstream articles, books, or documentaries specifically addressing the issue of a connection between the intersectees and showing how that relationship is manifested, for it to have some notability as an intersection. The existence of the intersection outside of wikipedia is not proof enough that it is a notable intersection." I actually am not sure I entirely believe that statement is true. That's because lists serve dual purposes. One is to present a combination of entries to inform the reader on a broader topic. The other, though, is to serve as search indices for related articles on a topic, much like categories serve as search indices for their articles. 711:
was LGBT, and it is linked to a list, the list could discuss aspects of their sexuality and how it related to their lives as composers. If there is a significant connection between sexuality and being a composer, it would be a valid category. If the connection is tenuous, it might still be a good list. The criteria that we have worked out for categories requires the significant connection. I would say that the only requirement for a list is that the connection could reasonably be mentioned in the articles. In this way we would be saying that we are making editorial decisions about these connections. If the connection is trivial, it should be removed from the individual articles. If that is the case then the lists should also be deleted. So if we remove the fact that John Fooman likes fried chicken, we'd also remove the

The two sides often leapfrog each other -- and that's a good thing. The competition should be kept to leapfrogging, which is healthy, rather than let devolve into the fiercer cut-throat competition of deletion, which is unhealthy for Knowledge because actual work is lost. For example, sometimes a well-developed list gets deleted because a category could conceivably do the same thing, even though the category is practically empty. Well, that's a poor strategy for developing an encyclopedia. Let lists and categories co-exist. Together they are synergistic, because people are synergistic. Don't alienate your listmakers or your category builders. Live and let live.
1897:"If the list was unanimously kept three months ago then isn't it fairly obvious that there's no consensus for this policy based off of AFD?" Out of four lists recently nominated, two were met with "near unanimous keeps" beforehand and yet met with deletion recently. Further, with all due respect, your only contribution to this discussion was a complaint about merging, and absolutely no discussion about the content itself, which you were free to change/improve on etc (so complaints about it being over-broad are unfounded). As for using it in AfDs, I explicitly put "the proposal" in front of it every time it's mentioned as 2530:
instinctive gut intuition rather than policy or guidelines when they vote like that. Personally, I believe anyone who cannot point to the specific violation in detail who votes should not be counted, as their informed judgment cannot be at all discerned. Finally, I find it very unfortunate that deletionists have been referring to this page as a justification for the deletion of lists. It is not policy. It is not a guideline. It is the opinion of an author that is striving to gain consensus for their essay (which is fine by me, despite my disagreement with it). (
595:"List of songs about suicide, List of films with female leads, List of Celebrity's pets" There is almost certainly consensus about the second and third examples--but there is no real agreement about the first. Personally, I support most such lists, especially when the items do correspond to real classes--there are songs specifically about suicide, while most songs are not. I see this not as trivia, but an appropriate subject distinction, and one that is usually fairly obvious. I think we need more of a justification in any particular guideline. 2457:- The proposal appears to imply that "tweaking" the category guidelines should apply to lists. However categories intentionally are supposed to have a higher barrier against creation than lists because a bad category can affect a hundred articles while a bad list is just a single bad article. Valid categories generally make for valid lists, but not all valid lists make for valid categories. So the restrictions on creating lists are intentionally looser than the restrictions on creating categories. 1523:" The verifiablity policy requires only that sources be reliable, and notability guidelines say that coverage should be non-trivial and independent of the subject in order for there to be a separate article (or list in this case). But that is far from saying there must be a "reasonable amount" (whatever that means) of "solid, mainstream" (not just reliable) sources, and demanding a certain type of discussion about the intersection, not just non-trivial coverage. 1138:" The verifiablity policy requires only that sources be reliable, and notability guidelines say that coverage should be non-trivial and independent of the subject in order for there to be a separate article (or list in this case). But that is far from saying there must be a "reasonable amount" (whatever that means) of "solid, mainstream" (not just reliable) sources, and demanding a certain type of discussion about the intersection, not just non-trivial coverage. 2499:- In "Over-extensive Lists" the section appears to contradict itself by saying that "When a list is prone to having many listees that can never have an article written about them, or that simply fail notability, the list can usually be deemed as over-extensive and would probably function better as a category." The problem with that statement is that clearly if a large number of entries on a list don't have articles then you 791:"it's no doubt true that we have extraordinarily extensive coverage of things that a traditional encyclopedia would really turn their nose up at. That does get used as a criticism against Knowledge, but my response to that is twofold. First of all the people who were writing the Pokemon articles aren't hurting anybody. They are not stopping anybody from writing articles about Thomas Jefferson. So what's the harm?" 22: 71: 53: 153: 125: 217: 1928:. Now AFD is doing much more than that. It is wrong to expect all of us to spend all of our time defending defective articles from being deleting. That is a big waste of time. We should be putting effort into fixing them. All I've had time for recently is these debates. I'm close to proposing AFD be shut down because I think it is disrupting the project in very negative ways. -- 2511:
it's quite possible to have lists of related events within a season or for a team or player which is a necessary data adjunct to a discussion on the topic. Even with non-notable entries, though, the list as a whole can still serve a useful navigational or informative purpose for readers on the topic, especially when it contains at least some notable entries with their own articles.

how those guidelines (NPOV, notability, etc...) apply to lists. I also hope that the standards for being an acceptable list are more liberal than those for the acceptability of a category. If there is to be a listing here it should be for lists that cannot be made acceptable, and not cite discussions where lists were removed because of other defects (like being unreferenced) --

are about how a category would be better served as a list. If the list satisfies standards of notability, NPOV, verifiability, etc... that seems sufficient. Categorization is a different can of worms and is constrained in ways a that a list is not. I hope that list deletion policies and practices can be more inclusionist than those for categories. --

As many many previous lists (most of which have been deleted) do. One reliable source cannot support an entire list. And if we were to include many non-mainstream sources, then numerous lists based purely on the beliefs of, lets say, fringe science could pop up. There are many instances of fringe science being reported by reliable sources. 2373:
to be "encyclopedic" (whatever that means), when it is quite obvious that we do have many pages that are not encyclopedia articles but just navigational aids (think about disambiguation pages, for example). Lists can also be seen as navigational aids, similar to categories but without some of the limitations of categories. --
849:, what is the problem with creating lists for the intersections? There are major problems for doing it with categories, and we try to discourage people from creating the categories and encourage lists instead. If we can have lists of Pokeman characters and Star Trek episodes, what's so terrible about having Morman actors? 322:
there is at least a policy to go by for overlistification. If you think merging the articles into one would be too confusing, than can we at least get some type of consensus on an Overlistification policy/guideline? Such a thing has been requested numerously and would help immensely in many recent list-related AFDs.
1632:. This policy gives specific examples of "indiscriminate information" and "directories" but otherwise gives little guidance on how to objectively interpret these phrases in relation to anything that does not fall within those examples. One person's "indiscriminate list" or "directory" may be another's " 1164:.

Agreed (do not support). There are good lists and bad lists, but disfavoring lists overall is overkill. The title, and focus, of this proposal suggest a bias against lists overall, and the contents confirm that it's not really a useful step in sorting out those lists are appropriate from those that

entries which do not have their own articles. For example, I think the odds are good that many song lists will contain songs that do not have their own articles but that, in order to be complete, those songs must be included in the list. Similarly not all sporting events have their own article, but

Therefore I don't currently accept the general notion that overall list topics need to have been thoroughly discussed by outside publications. Rather, the list needs to be properly referenced, having an easily and objectively determinable inclusion criteria (to avoid the list actually being original
2372:
The reason above does not apply to lists. Inclusion in a list article does not clutter any other articles, as the only effect shows up in the "What links here" tool, which is very minor. Lists can be useful for navigation. I don't know where people get the idea that every single page on Knowledge has
2368:
That is the only reason to avoid overcategorization given in the guideline. It is a practical reason, based on the limitations of the software. If we could display arbitrary intersections in a usable way, they would actually help rather than hinder the navigation and usefulness of the project. But as
1039:
Bulldog, the simple fact is that you and I have both been working on proposed guidelines which intersect. Merging them seems logical and, as I said, if opposing sides on an issue can reach consensus, then the guideline has a great chance of passing. If you are interesting in doing this, please let us
786:
This is a philosophical issue for me. I don't see that much is accomplished in putting an effort into deleting things that are basically harmless. A single bad category can appear on hundreds of articles and give a mistaken emphasis to information. This is bad and should be deleted. For a list to
722:
So the big problem I'm having with this page is the underlying thinking behind deleting these lists. It would help if there was some consensus about why these lists need to be deleted. I don't see the consensus for a clear rationale in many of the AFD discussions. The burden of proof necessary for
301:
explains how lists and categories have different purposes, and acceptable inclusion criteria are not the same in each case. The two guidelines should be kept separate, because I can think of many occasions where a list would be useful and encyclopedic, but a category could cause all sorts of problems
2430:
Lists and categories overlap, and increasingly so over time. One reason for this is that there are editors who work primarily on lists to the exclusion of categories, and vice versa. It's idiotic to get rid of the works of one group in favor of the other. Both are viable core navigation systems!
1923:
I believe that recent events at AFD have been against long standing practices. I think it is very misguided to delete long standing pages with broad community input because they are defective. I've been with this project for over 3 years. When I started, almost every article was defective. It is
1737:
You are arguing a very good case for "no original research" and "verifiability". Notability is shorthand for the combination of the pillars of Knowledge, but that does not mean that it should be extended to exclude entire classes of lists irrespective of whether they satisfy the requirements of our

it would be OK. The problems with this list were sourcing and original research. Three people said it was "trivia", two said it wasn't. To include it as an example of a guideline, you should have an example where there is a clear consensus that the list is trivia, and that trivia is the reason it
1393:
Ending in no consensus on previous nominations actually exemplifies part of the problem, which is that there is a bias towards keeping "non-encyclopedic" lists on wikipedia, and only after serious lengthy debates concerning policy and encyclopedic-worth does it end up going through. Take for example
1301:
Although you may feel this is an extreme deletionist standpoint, I'm certain many others feel that there is currently a severe bias towards keeping articles, especially lists on wikipedia. This proposal is then aimed at, at least, lessening that bias. Nor do I expect inclusionists to agree with this
909:
Unfortunately, there is the appearance that this guideline is being created to bolster one side of the debate around the deletion of certain types of lists. I'm sure the same could be said for my proposed guideline. Perhaps we should try to fix this perception. As people may know, the guidelines and

section, some of these were deleted because there was already a category. This seems backwards. It often makes more sense for these categories to be lists than vice versa. That is certainly the way many CFD discussions have gone. Take for example, LGBT composers. If someone sees that a composer

It's kinda silly how everyone keeps complaining I was the only contributor to this essay instead of just CONTRIBUTING to it by themselves. I've said millions of times I wanted people to change what they didn't like but nobody did anything, and quite frankly asking for it to be "deleted" (which, all

It is quite possible, I think, for a list to serve a useful function as a navigational list for the reader without the "overall topic" of the list being specifically notable. There are probably useful ways of organizing navigational hub articles within broad topics that haven't been discussed, and

but we're certainly requesting it by moving to insanely reactionary measures such as closing down AfD. Despite what everyone assumes, there aren't that many bad lists left on wikipedia. If I had to make a guess, I'd say 90% of lists pass the Overlistification criteria (of which, despite attempts to

it should be based upon existing and accepted AFD outcomes. Incidentally you may want to borrow some of the wording from OCAT, in particular wrt arbitrary and unclear inclusion criteria. I'd suggest keeping the two pages separate, although they should cross-reference; for instance, OCAT mentions in

I agree. There seems to be very little here that isn't already covered by policies about notability, NPOV, citations, etc... This page potentially does serve the purpose of explaining precedents when inappropriate list have been removed. (See comment below about precedent). Often CFD discussions
1658:
Again, purely because there is a chance some people's garbage might be another person's gold, I don't think this is a valid reason for keeping what general consensus would deem unencyclopedic. Consensus isn't always unanimous, but there's just no way to combat that. People will simply do their own

to finally get to the core of how it is unencyclopedic. And it went through. It's actually a perfect example for what I'm trying to point out, and I'm not sure why Sam removed it. No prejudice of recreation is simply the closing admin's opinion though. There isn't evidence that it would go through
1013:
It's as clear as day that you, Murcielago, SGGH, and Bama are agreeing with eachother on everything to push for a consensus. Either that or everything is a vote to you guys. Plus you guys even admitted to being friends, so I don't see why should be offended by that. Stop trying to start a quarrel.

a featured list. I'm sure to some people it is just as unimportant as how I see Pokeman characters. If the list isn't original research, can be cited, and is NPOV, why not keep it? If you are going to draw a line and say list A is OK, and list B is over-reaching, there should be a clear explicit

I believe that this list cannot be salvaged into something that would be useful for the project. I am sorry and I don't mean this as a personal attack or as revenge for a few deletions I would have voted differently about. I don't think there's any way to move forward and I don't think this is an

We're not suggesting that the same things apply to categories and lists. Overlistification is fined tuned for lists. Many things that wouldn't be acceptable in categories are acceptable in lists. We're just suggesting to merge the two articles but maintain the separateness in application. So that

I agree with many of the sentiments against this proposal in large part. I also see that many editors assume that red links equal a sort of lack of notability, and therefore a list that contains a subjectively "high number" of red links would work better as a category. I also agree with previous

Simply "giving a chance to improve" puts the burden solely on me, as you made no effort to improve it either (or even gave suggestions for that matter, except "merge"), even though you've stated that you agree with some of it. And then going as far as pointing out that I was the sole contributor

reason for deletion. And as per the rules of AfD, consensus determines what is kept or deleted, not simply a violation of policy, as many, many times, lists were kept because of ILIKEIT consensus. Not every comment has to be based on policy. So let's not get ahead of ourselves. I stated why this
1305:
I don't consider myself and inclusionist or deletionist. I generally think more articles are deleted than should be, but I've strongly supported deleting more categories than usually end up getting deleted. It is because I support trimming categories that I do not support being so strict about

Come on now. I didn't even know who "Bama" and SGGH were before the whole Hispanic Medal of Honor discussion, and haven't interacted with them since. So I don't think I agree with them on "everything", nor is "everything a vote" to me. I do view this as borderline disrespectful, Bulldog. I am
760:
That seems a little extreme to me. For example, tt's big hype to mention that someone is of some ethnic descent in an article, and usually it is kept. But I don't think that should justify the creation of all lists in which the person would fit in. Let's say the person was a journalist, TV-show

This page is an attempt to set guidelines favoring one particular outcome of debates about lists--the view of those people there who seem to dislike many lists. Their view often, but not always prevails, and I see this is an attempt to cast in stone their preferences, especially as it uses for

It's editor consensus in relation to policy that determines if the list should or should not be deleted. There was no suggestion to delete the list in compliance with this proposal. I just hyper-linked it because I wanted people to comment. It's proposal advertising, and I fixed the nomination

I think we should be using the other definition of "encyclopedic". What we want is a vast comprehensive collection of information and knowledge. As long as it is verifiable, not original research, and well-sourced, I don't think we need to worry about the rest. I resist the effort to extend

Like I put on Overlistification, the pure existence of an intersection on the internet, even by reliable sources, does not automatically delineate its notability. Your example actually support this is a way and I hope to make you understand. Your very first example is a brief transcript of an

Well, I suppose I'm a bit more right-wing in my views of lists then. I don't think "harmlessness" should be thought of as a reason to keep many, many user-created lists. I'm all for lists of people, and lists of people by nationality and even lists of people by ethnicity...but when it gets to

This guideline doesn't reflect any of this and appears to being developed separately from the list guidelines, using only category specific info. That said, there are some good things in this proposed guideline. In particular, the Irrelevant Intersections by Race, Gender, Beliefs, Sexuality,

So on one side there's a minimal harm to letting things slide by that might be considered "unencyclopedic" to some degree. On the other side is the effort it takes by all the participants to have an AFD discussion, and the bad feelings that may be generated in the process. I see the energy

Well, I'm not too happy with how you assumed this was a vent of my personal beliefs. It might be my belief but it is equally shared by many participants in AFD discussions, as can be exemplified by the many recent nominations of lists. This, in my opinion, just a different interpretation of
2200:
participants to this discussion, as to get a take on what is the consensus outside of deletionists and inclusionists. As with your AfD ideology, improve don't delete. However, leaving the burden of improvement solely on me is not helpful. In other words, people would find use for this as a

I see this differently. I think there should be an effort into making clearly defined, well thought out categories. I see lists as a way that people can create an alternative to formal categorization that is looser. A way to associate articles and subjects that is less constrained, less

Oppose the proposal. Delete it. It favors cateogories over lists, and those two systems are complementary. Categories aren't superior to lists for navigation purposes. Both have problems and both have strengths. I won't support a policy or guideline that puts one above the other.

Ok, I challenge you to find the criteria for deleting lists based on irrelevant intersections of RERBS. There is a reason several other proposals propped up around this time, including three complaints on VIllage Pump that no criteria is available. Indeed, dozens of editors now utilize
