Really don't think this article is warranted considering there appears to only be two of them - linking the articles is done sufficiently via the See Also sections. Sam Walton (talk) 21:25, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The vast amount of writing about Maxwell's demon stymies any Google search for details on notability, but I agree that there doesn't really seem to be any justification for this list. Without any context or easy way to validate that this satisfies WP:LISTN, I'd say that deletion is the best option. If the list is notable, then someone can recreate it with a better demonstration of notability. In the meantime, I think any discussion of demons in thought experiments can go to demon (thought experiment). NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:02, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –Davey2010 • (talk) 15:14, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom - Quite plainly, just a very bizarre article. Never heard of a "thermodynamic demon" before. Aerospeed (Talk) 22:53, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
