- Index of Myanmar-related articles (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This type of list can be considered depecrated, per this, this, this, this, this, this and this AFD. The index in question is a huge block of text unusable to a human reader. Would have prodded, but the AFD route was tried already in 2007. Geschichte (talk) 17:20, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

- Delete all per my comments in the previous AFDs. Reywas92Talk 17:54, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
- Move to Wikipedia:WikiProject Myanmar/Index of Myanmar-related articles. I can see the potential utility of such a list, but not as a mainspace article. If not moved, delete. BD2412 T 18:23, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
- BD2412, what potential utility do you see here? – Uanfala (talk) 00:35, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- It's an easy page from which to click "related changes" and see changes to pages relevant to the project, without having to individually watchlist them. BD2412 T 00:38, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Oh, that. I think that's one of the main reasons some of those lists got created in the early days of Wikipedia, when watchlists and categories didn't exist yet (see Olivier's comment in this AfD). If someone wanted to use such a functionality now, then – given how incomplete the list is – they'll be much better off just generating a new index from the project listing [1]. – Uanfala (talk) 00:50, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

- Delete per previous discussions. With almost exactly a thousand links, this represents just 13% of the articles tracked by the Myanmar Wikiproject. I can't see what value it may provide for either readers or editors. – Uanfala (talk) 00:50, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. I don't understand what benefit Wikipedia users get out of this list. We already have a much better organizational system consisting of the categories and subcategories within Category:Myanmar. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:43, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. Precedent is now set to remove all these Index lists. Ajf773 (talk) 10:00, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Precedent is now set to remove all these Index lists as is being currently done with the others. -Imcdc (talk) 02:54, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete The page should be deleted. The page might be a useful tool for someone with the mass category edit tool to add Category:Myanmar to appropriate pages.Gusfriend (talk) 07:42, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
