Deletion of List of filename extensions

Comment: There is nothing wrong with this list in principle. The Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists|stand-alone list guideline does not require that every entry be blue-linked.  In fact, it explicitly points out that for a group of items where none of them are notable enough to have articles, a list is a good way of covering the topic ().  Having said that, the page(s) are badly in need of clear inclusion criteria.  In my opinion, file formats that are only ever used within a single game or app are not suitable for inclusion.  Only files that might be exchanged outside the app that created them, or file formats that are common to multiple apps, are useful to include.  But that is not something to be resolved at AFD

Comment: this is easily justifiable as a  from the parent article, and it is "helpful" or "useful" as S Marshall comments in that it compiles and organizes relevant information in a manner that is easy to browse or search. Utility is very much a relevant question for lists because it's often a question of why we should use that format. "Poorly referenced" is a poor deletion argument, however, because it just looks at the current state of content rather than its potential, regardless of whether something can be fixed. Whatever is "unverifiable" should be removed, whatever is verifiable should not because it can be sourced. "Incomplete" is also not a deletion rationale for lists, as no one would pretend there is such a thing as a "complete" list of filename extensions (as opposed to, for example, a complete list of Best Picture winners, state capitals, etc.). The extent to which these lists can or should be trimmed down, or whether they need to be maintained in more than one list as they are here or merged, are not deletion issues.
