zomg listcruft!!!111! Erm. Sorry. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list of information. -- Merope 17:42, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Category is there already, no need for a list. Kwsn^(Ni!) 17:51, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Per Kwsn. Why do we need two pages to do the work of one?--C.Logan 18:00, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete since the category exist, lots of red links too. But there at list 15-20 other list similar to that, so I guess most of them are listcruft as well.--JForget 19:34, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep This is Cruftcruft. First, the category only lists articles created--many of the lighthouses on the list will never have stand-alone articles, and we usually merge these to a list. Also lighthouses are prominent geographic landmarks, important in both marine navigation, and human culture. Each one must be unique for identification, and the unique characteristics are often associated with the adjacent settlements. Dhaluza 00:56, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, a perfect example of a list that does what a category cannot, show articles that are not yet created. --Dhartung | Talk 04:38, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I'll give you that one, but how can the lighthouses be verified? That's a big concern of mine. Kwsn^(Ni!) 17:21, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Look on a map. We don't delete articles because you can't verify it without getting out of your chair. Dhaluza 12:01, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Spain-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 09:16, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep, since we're using lists on WP, this one serves its purpose. -- Steve Hart 14:55, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Lighthouses are important features in ocean navigation, and therefore important geographical landmarks, often receiving a pretty prominent mark on maps. Sjakkalle (Check!) 10:48, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
