Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of independent bookstores in the United States (2nd nomination)
valid and standard list satisfying . That it only contains bluelinks is a rather strong argument against any claim that it is "unmaintainble," and "guaranteed never to be complete" is not a valid reason for deletion as no list is required to be complete, particularly not here where the list is limited only to notable entries (i.e., those that have or should have articles). Is the nominator confused on that point, that we commonly maintain lists on that criteria, or just unaware that this is how we index articles? Wikipedia does include directories of its own contents
