Author pretty much admits this is a case of listcruft and WP:ILIKEIT on the article talk page. DarkAudit 13:23, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete completely ludicrous indiscriminate list, as surely any superhero whose secret identity isn't a hobo will wear a suit at some point.....? ChrisTheDude 13:34, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Listcruft, indeed, but I'll be mirroring this into my user-space, in case it is worthwhile info. Is it against policy to make this a redirect to the copy in my user-space? It's at User:JNighthawk/Deleted Pages/List of superheroes who wear suits in their secret identities. - JNighthawk 14:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists-related deletions. -- -- pb30<talk> 14:44, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Clearly non notable. scope_creep 14:49, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and WP:NOT#IINFO. Yes, cross-space redirects are disallowed. (edit) Oops, didn't sign. Otto4711 16:07, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. It is probable that most superheros wear suits, depending on the circumstances. And what kind of suit? Bathing suit? Business suit? Leisure suit? Clown suit? Birthday suit? --Evb-wiki 15:15, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Userfy to JNighthawk, since said user has expressed interest. Note that simply cut-and-pasting a page which is then deleted leads to a GFDL violation because the history is lost. -- Visviva 15:19, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Understood. If the article is to be deleted, I'd like to have it moved to my userspace instead. If allowed, I'd also like to keep the redirect from WP mainspace to my userspace. If not, that's alright, but I'd definitely like to keep the article around. Is it against WP policy to have a mainspace article redirect to a userspace page? - JNighthawk 02:15, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alrighty. If it's to be deleted, can it instead be moved to my userspace with the mainspace article then deleted (so the link from WP main space will be removed). I guess I'm actually requesting a new WP feature, "copy," so maybe I should post in the village pump. - JNighthawk 13:19, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Not really. If you move the article to your userspace, all the history is preserved. And then we just delete the redirect link. Shall I do it for you? --Tone 21:55, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add to the "List of articles deleted for being a collection of indiscriminate information." Violates WP:NOT. Arkyan &#149; (talk) 15:29, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Because after this, it will be superheroes who wear blue jeans, superheroes who wear hats, superheroes who wear jewelry, etc. Mandsford 15:35, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete WP:NOT Rackabello 16:24, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - as per WP:NOT#DIR.--Edtropolis 16:50, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as above. JJL 17:31, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom & most of the above; what's next boxers or briefs or going commando? Carlossuarez46 18:19, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, and I'm waiting for List of superheroes who wear spandex costumes as yet another example of sprawling list-building. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 19:54, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as listcruft. This is not a notable criteria. --EMS | Talk 20:31, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Who cares? —JackLumber/tɔk/ 21:41, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for sexism; what about tasteful pants suit and pencil skirt wearing super-heroines? J/K, delete per nom, WP:NOT, etc. María (críticame) 17:13, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for all the reasons mentioned above. Useight 00:15, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Userfy (as requested above) and Delete. I think the author says it all on the talk page. -MrFizyx 16:02, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
