Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional Vice Presidents of the United States (2nd nomination)
The idea that, just because parent topic X is notable automatically makes List of X notable, has been |thoroughly debunked. All topics (and lists ''are'' topics) |require coverage in reliable, secondary sources that discuss the subject of the topic. In the case of lists, this would require sources that discuss the ''list''. In the case of pop culture and fiction, insisting on this is particularly important because otherwise we get a proliferation of badly sourced, fannish articles of dubious reliability, limited scope and minimal usefulness- just like this one. Lastly, Carrite is badly misunderstanding . That guideline means that a subject's notability doesn't decline just because no new sources mentioning it are appearing any longer; it does ''not'' mean Wikipedia cannot |change its mind on whether a subject was notable in the first place
