Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of former members of AKB48 (2nd nomination)
we cannot call 41 items ''very few'' with a wave of hand, this contradicts nom statement wbo claimed very few have articles. Second although many don't have article, one of the |purpose of list is development. Non linked titles in lists (and DAB pages) serve almost similar function as redlink, because they help overall development of Wikipedia. I said this as addendum to what has already been confirmed by many people above that the contents is indeed |verifiable and referred in RS. For any other concern it can be trimmed or reorganized  but |deletion is not solution here. ''&thinsp;&mdash;''&nbsp
