Deletion of List of books related to Buddhism

Comment: Difficulty in maintaining an article is by itself not a good reason for deleting an article, per . On the more positive side, it is possible to maintain list-based articles through standards like MOS:LIST, which encourages list entries to be WP article themselves, i.e., have notability. Indeed, the nom recently cut this article down to a modest size by retaining only the books which had articles on WP. One could flesh out the article by including books mentioned in :Category:Buddhism studies books or :Category:Buddhist texts.  There exist articles such as List of environmental books based on this criterion which seem maintainable. With no policy based reason to delete and a proposed way forward, I see no reason to delete

I agree other indiscriminate lists like this exist but they are equally problematic
