Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of common misconceptions (2nd nomination)
I would like to posit that the discussion here isn't (or shouldn't be) the veracity of the claims or the comedic value of the page (BJAODN anyone?) but rather the possibility of judging whether something is a "commonly held" misconception objectively (I know this has been stated above, I am repeating it and trying to clarify the reasoning). This can be demonstrated by looking at two examples, List of true stuff and List of cool stuff. Obviously both lists would be totally unmaintainable in terms of size but the thing I'm trying to demonstrate is that one of them is subjective and the other objective and, barring solipcism|solipcist/nihilism|nihilist reasoning about truth, it's pretty straight forward which is which. The question here is which of the above "commonly held" falls into, whether it is reasonable to believe that reliable (reliability is not implied by it being on paper or on the internet after all) sourcing of such title can be found for enough claims to make a worthwhile list, and whether such a list, once created, would be encyclopaedic content without violating  and  in a way which makes  unreasonable
