Purpose
This RfC will be used to determine community consensus for outlines.  Potential resources to gain information: 
Wikipedia_talk:Outlines#Points
 User talk:Dbachmann#More on Outlines
Possibly, this should be extended to be a discussion of navigation articles within mainspace.  Taking from 's post on dbachmann's talk page, I can see broadening this to include indexes and lists of X topics.  In my opinion, glossaries, timelines, and year articles may be useful for navigation, but they also have the capability to become complete articles used for purposes other than navigation; I don't see outlines, indexes, and Lists of X topics articles as being able to be more than a navigational aid. Thoughts?
