Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Royal Ontario Museum Iconic Objects
this is essentially just a copyright violation of a work |self-published by the institution, containing its ''own'' subjective assessments of which items in its own collection qualify as "iconic", without even the ''slightest'' attempt at |reliably sourcing even one of the items or its iconicity. This is not the kind of thing we should be retaining, and contrary to some assertions above lists ''do'' still require some sourcing. People ''regularly'' try to add inappropriate entries to lists, such as adding a person to a list of people from a place that person isn't from, or adding a band to a list of bands in a genre that has nothing to do with that band's music (e.g. The Clash on List of hip hop groups), or adding a heterosexual person to our lists of LGBT people as a form of attack editing, or adding a nonexistent fantasy sports team to a list of sports teams, and on and so forth. So lists ''do'' require sourcing to demonstrate that the entries in the list actually ''belong'' there. No objection to listing some of the items in the ROM's main article, or a more general and not primary sourced "list of notable artifacts", if there are independent sources available to verify that the ROM's holding of that object is considered ''noteworthy'' by anybody not directly employed by the ROM itself
