[edit] Lists of superheroes

Lists of superheroes (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Redundant to Category:Lists of superheroes. The usual reason for having a list that duplicates a category is the ability to add redlinks and encourage new articles. This reason doesn't apply to lists of lists such as this, because list guidelines state that redlinks and nonexistant lists should not be added to these, so this does nothing the category can't.

  • Comment I agree that the presence (at the bottom of all the blue-linked articles) of a link to Category:Lists of superheroes makes this somewhat redundant. However, there's no reason that both can't exist. Mandsford 00:33, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - this is in fact a list of lists. As such it duplicates a category (but badly). The underlying lists deserve to remain because there are many entries without articles, though whether many of the heroes in those lists deserve to appear is a matter on which I am no judge. My initial reaction was merely to make a comment, but I now see no use in its continued existence. Peterkingiron 22:28, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
