Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional magic users
It's a list, therefore doesn't need to be sourced as the appropriate sources should already be in the article.  It is not indiscriminate--in fact, it is quite discriminate as 'fictional magic users'; although it can certainly be sub-listed for "fictional female magic users", "magic users in universe x", etc.  Furthermore, |categories do not replace lists.  From  (emphasis mine):'''''These methods should not be considered to be in conflict with each other.''' Rather, they are synergistic, each one complementing the others. For example, since editors differ in style, some favor building lists while others favor building categories, allowing links to be gathered in two different ways, with lists often leapfrogging categories, and vice versa.'', and '''''Developers of these redundant systems should not compete against each other in a destructive manner''', such as by nominating the work of their competitors to be deleted because they overlap. Doing so may disrupt browsing by users who prefer the list system. Also, lists may be enhanced with features not available to categories, but building a rudimentary list of links is a necessary first step in the construction of an enhanced list
