Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional currencies
I know that  is not supposed to be an argument, but we have http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=List+of+fictional&namespace=0 well over 200 list articles that are a "List of fictional Xs" for some X, and the arguments presented here for deletion would appear to apply equally (or equally not) to any of those. The argument that this is "an indiscriminate collection of information" is not strong; there is a well-defined inclusion criterion, as required by . The way ource list is formulated suggests to me that content criteria like  and  are supposed to be applied to the ''entries'' of the list, rather than the list in its entirety; indeed, it is hard to see how else we could have ''any'' lists. Note that this is not an article ''about'' a list such as the Domesday Book; if the ''topic'' discussed is an existing list about which we have an article, it makes sense to apply notability criteria such as significant coverage in multiple sources, but it is eminently unreasonable to require proof that Wikipedia's List of sultans of the Ottoman Empire article, for example, has been discussed in ''The New York Times'' and the ''Muskogee Phoenix'' or else face ignominious deletion for being non-notable. &nbsp
