Deletion of List of fictional Romans

Comment: per nom, per  and . This would be a useless and unwieldily list if completed, which it never would be. Categories address this issue in a much better way. It's just

Comment: The argument that this material is best served by a category is a sieve as individual list entries, while sourced do not have their own articles.  What would go in the category?  The  arguments, while interesting fail to address the entire intent of the section.  For example the last sentence in the section reads: ''…be prepared to explain why you feel this list contributes to the state of human knowledge.''  Shouldn’t those that chose to delete it argue why it doesn’t.  The final argument that I find especially troublesome is this one repeated by several editors: ''…if it ever were completed, it would be so large as to be useless and unwieldy. It is currently not that large, but it is also vastly incomplete, with virtually no chance at ever becoming complete.''  This says I guess that if the knowledge on any given subject is too large we delete that knowledge or if we can’t complete that knowledge we delete that knowledge.  If individual entries are otherwise notable, the number of those entries are irrelevant for deletion purposes.  Articles that grow beyond a practical size limit, can be refactored into more managable sub-topics—we do it all the time.  This list is no different

Comment: I wholeheartedly endorse what Claritas says. Also, considering how often Rome appears in fiction it's clear that there should be many, many, many, ''many'' entries. Therefore this list can only ever be too incomplete to be useful or too sprawling and unmaintainable to be useful ie. |listcruft one way or the other
