[[List of streets in Los Angeles]] and [[List of streets in the San Gabriel Valley]]
Hi there. I have reverted your proposed deletions of these two articles. You are however still free to nominate them on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion (you cannot use {{tl|proposed deletion}} on these pages again since I have objected). But because of the existence to the navigation boxes :Template:Streets in Los Angeles and Template:Streets in the San Gabriel Valley, and the categories :Category:Streets in Los Angeles and :Category:Streets in the San Gabriel Valley, I would then argue on any AFD discussion that these list pages should be cleaned up and expanded, rather than deleted outright. I would cite many of the guidelines on Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates. Particularly, the line on the second paragraph which says, {{tq|Many users prefer to browse Wikipedia through its lists, while others prefer to navigate by category; and lists are more obvious to beginners, who may not discover the category system right away.}} I would also cite WP:NOTDUPE, and that we would be deleting lists that essentially duplicates those existing navboxes and categories. Even though theses lists just have links now, they do not have the disadvantages of categories and the disadvantages of navboxes, especially those disadvantages that are very noticeable on mobile versions of Wikipedia (such as the fact that navboxes are currently disabled on the mobile versions, and browsing a list of links on a single list page may be far easier for users on the mobile version than trying to load categories). And of course, lists have advantages as well. So again, these lists pages should be cleaned up and expanded, not deleted outright, because of the advantages and disadvantages between categories, lists, and navigation boxes. Thanks.
