Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of vampire traits in folklore and fiction (2nd nomination)
ie it shouldn't be a "list of" article. Delete !votes are based on the fundamental structure of the article as it is. Of course, it's valid to object that poorly sourced articles can be revised if reliable sources are out there, and it's true that secondary sources make general comments on the representations of vampires citing notable examples. The problem is, the current structure that lists individual examples backed by OR is dictated by the title, which means the OR objections are valid, not simply . The subject matter, if sourced according to policy to secondary sources, does not lend itself to being presented as a table where individual examples are listed. I had a brief go at taking a knife to the article to get rid of the HUGE amount of OR and gave up because basically, it should be prose-based. It could have a short neat table at the end for convenience comparing regional variations (European vs Chinese etc.), but not as the meat of the article. So change it from being a list article
