1. List has no references, and thus is not verifiable. 2. May not be notable. 3. Wikipedia is not a directory. Me-123567-Me (talk) 23:38, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. Not sure why this was nominated for deletion. Perhaps some of the redlinks should be removed but that's an entirely different discussion. Perhaps take a look at MOS:LISTS. This is precisely what lists are used for on WP. mikeman67 (talk) 01:09, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep likely as this has the signs of being kept and is applicable for its field. SwisterTwister talk 04:26, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a valid list. VMS Mosaic (talk) 05:17, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It is not directory, it is just a list class article as usual. --Human3015^TALK 07:14, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Being unref'd isn't a reason for deletion. This goes hand in hand with the category too, per WP:CLN. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 08:11, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as encyclopedic defined list topic (although referencing and significance of all entries should be checked). On a sidenote, I added a hatnote link between WP:NOTDIRECTORY and MOS:LINKS to make that connection a bit clearer. GermanJoe (talk) 12:25, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
