Comment: I too have found these lists useful, but that fact by itself is not necessarily a reason to keep them. #DIR says "Wikipedia also includes reference tables and tabular information for quick reference", which I think includes these lists. They serve a dual function: firstly for WP internal maintenance (and worth keeping for that reason alone), and secondly as a reference useful to Wikipedia's general users. Reading  more generally, it is clear that we need to consider the question whether these lists really belong somewhere else, and I think the answer to that is fairly clear, they don't
