Comment: per nom.  This ''is'' the type of information you'd see in a directory/database, like a phone book which is the example used in .  This list also violates  as the subject of the list (the grouping of turtles from all aspects of fiction) has not been discussed nontrivially in any reliable, third-party sources. It's hard enough proving that fictional turtles are notable, but the compilation of a list of fictional turtles as the ''subject'' of its own article is a step beyond that even.  Also, per  this list is overly-broad in its criteria for inclusion (read: indiscriminate). It reads "Lists that are too general or too broad in scope have little value" and concludes "be prepared to explain why you feel this list contributes to the state of human knowledge" This list clearly does not contribute to the state of human knowledge.  The compilation of these has no end result other than the compilation itself. Nothing can be used for comparison purposes nor does each item within the list have any bearing on the other items within it

Comment: Let's look at the reasons given for deletion. (1) .  This is an ''essay'' that refers to indiscriminate or trivial lists.  This list is neither. It is not indiscriminate, because there are clearly defined criteria for inclusion-- this is a  list of fictional turtles that have articles in Wikipedia, that should have articles in Wikipedia, or that are mentioned in a parent article.  Simple. (2)  - ''Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information''. As I already mentioned, this is not an indiscriminate list, there are clearly defined criteria for inclusion. (3) .  This simply doesn't apply.  I would like to ask the nominator which of the six items found at  does this list fall under? &mdash;&nbsp

Comment: The list forms a good index for the topic Cultural depictions of turtles and tortoises and is suitable for this per .  The two articles might best be developed/merged together but this is a matter of normal editing, not deletion.  The title of this article is a useful search term and so should not be deleted
