The result was Delete. A selective list that has no criteria for selection. Hard to see how it can ever be considered anything other then an indiscrimate list of information. Spartaz Humbug! 18:17, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Shockingly loose association of topics. Unacceptable per WP:NOT#DIR. Eyrian 23:38, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment This IS weaker than most lists nominated tonite. I once had a girlfriend who was shockingly loose. Mandsford 00:57, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Split this would be better as separate pages for each of the existing subsets. FrozenPurpleCube 02:29, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete again per list of loosely associated topics. Categorize any notable ones and delete this list Corpx 05:10, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep out of solidarity with all the other "list" articles being nominated for deletion, as with all articles can be improved. KTo288 17:56, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • This article's prose can be improved, but that doesn't mean it should be kept. (I'm not so much challenging your reasoning as trying to banter about deletion policy with my adoptee.)--Chaser - T 04:45, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per KTo288, User:Fresheneesz/Don't Destroy, and Wikipedia:Give an article a chance. --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 00:33, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Roi, arguing from essays is fine, but let's look at the deletion rationale in terms of policy. Eyrian is arguing that these are loosely associated, which is a problem in part because the grounds for inclusion are unclear. For example, can we include every important building in every Grand Theft Auto series in this list? (There's already one such building.) What about other video games? Perhaps requiring that everything listed here pass some non-arbitrary test. For example, surely Hogwarts belongs, but the mall in Liberty City? Probably not. How to differentiate between the two...?--Chaser - T 04:45, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

:::A good question. Maybe the talk page is the best place to handle it. FrozenPurpleCube 04:26, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep, there is nothing "loose" about the association between these topics and lists provide a way of navigating articles that is far superior over the use of categories (they allow more context, other sorting then A-Z and are more user friendly). This particular article does need better sourcing though. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 08:49, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Directory of loosely associated topics. There is no way that to buildings being fictional or two fictional things being buildings makes them connected. Fails WP:NOT#DIR by design. Jay32183 18:29, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
