Deletion of Index of Babylon 5 articles

Comment: potentially speedily so. I've never been a big fan of index articles; the project supports them as a sort of analog to the traditional table of contents. Personally, I think they tend to be incomplete, often poorly maintained, and rarely accessible to readers. But my opinion on them ''doesn't matter'' as an issue of policy; index articles (and the similar outline articles) are Wikipedia:Indexes|explicitly permitted as part of our system of navigation tools. If you desire to change this, AFD isn't the right venue (|indeed, "the deletion processes are not a forum for revoking policy"). If the argument is that specific articles on the list need to be deleted or merged, then the right approach is to consider those articles and not the index. And even if we assumed that the currently in-vogue cull of fiction-related topics pares the list down somewhat, there's no realistic claim that this isn't a valid index

Comment: per  which explains that we have a variety of ways of helping readers navigate our voluminous content and these are complementary rather than exclusive.  Categories are quite inadequate, because they do not support citations and their tree structure does not work well with multiple independent keywords.  Indexes are a traditional way of navigating reference works and so it is quite reasonable that we should support them
