Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional reptiles
I see the page as an aid to navigation, like so many other list articles (e.g. List of abstract algebra topics, List of magical weapons, List of speakers in Plato's dialogues). Even though required by our notability guidelines (see ) the "topic" of such lists is usually not notable in the way defined there. If there were reliable sources discussing, in some general sense, speakers in Plato's dialogues, then we should not have a standalone list but an article on Speakers in Plato's dialogues which then, after a lead and some sections presenting the viewpoints found in these reliable sources, might have a section listing such speakers. Personally I think that such pages should be judged on whether they are actually useful for navigation. I greatly regret the demise, for example, of the former List of flags by design, which I found extremely useful for identifying a flag I had spotted and did not recognize. In this specific case it is not immediately obvious that the purpose will not be equally served by appropriate categorization (see Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates and Wikipedia:Categories versus lists). &nbsp
