Delete - If fully implemented this would be a massive sprawling list in constant need of maintenance. This is an instance for which a category is better suited. I had originally PRODed this without realizing that it had been PRODed and disputed already, so now bringing it to AFD. Harley Hudson (talk) 17:31, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The first (disputed) PROD had been from me: This should be a category, not a list.--Ben Ben (talk) 18:03, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - this cross-categorisation is better served by a category. List would be too large to be navigationally useful. --Anthem 18:39, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all above. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 14:10, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete' - The subject matter is just too unwieldy to make a useful or navigable list. I note this user's edit history of making several of these sorts of poorly-thought out lists, negiligble talk page discussion and removal of prod tags with no comment at all.
