Deletion of List of asteroids/1–100

Comment: The admonition that "Wikipedia is not a directory" (found at ) is worth reading.  I suppose any list could be looked at as a "directory", although the intent is to avoid endless compilations of "everything that exists or has ever existed".  The reason that you see the asteroids arranged as #1 to #100 on the list is because these were the first 100 that were discovered and identified by astronomers during the years 1801-1868.  The IAU still considers this to be the primary form for arranging the asteroids.  Unlike restaurants, TV episodes, movie characters, etc., asteroids were around centuries ago and will be here centuries from now.  Let's not touch the encyclopedic stuff
