Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Articles related to the creation-evolution controversy (2nd nomination)
the article.  The purpose of the actual text and of the title (both the original one, and the one after the move) is to serve as a list of articles that make up a recommended reading list.  You can tell from the "related to" language.  We have List of calculus topics, we don't have List of topics related to calculus, which would be overly broad and opinionated.  This is not a list of specific topics within a larger topic, or it would consist of far fewer articles: Creation myth, for instance, should be of interest to readers interested in the controversy, but is also clearly not an article about the creation-evolution controversy.  Fundamentally, this is a |Portal -- a starting point for readers with a specific interest, offering recommendations.  In principle, we could have a List of creation-evolution controversy topics article, but it would be vastly different in purpose from this one.  Per , a list should always have a clear and unambiguous description of what fits within the list and what does not.  This one starts, "The following is a clearinghouse of articles which refer to terms often used in the context of the creation-evolution controversy," and includes such various topics as Plate techtonics, Bioinformatics, Positivism, Theology, Culture wars, arguments for the existence of God, and articles relating to Evolution or Creationism with no substantive relationship to the controversy such as Heredity, Vestigal organs, Creation myth, Global flood
