Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional turtles
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aen.wikipedia.org+%22list+of+fictional%22 Other stuff exists. This is the sort of information that you would not expect to find in a #PAPER|paper encyclopedia. However, the fact that so many of these "List of fictional ____" articles exist is proof that at least one person found them potentially useful, and are not cruft. These lists are not in any way an indiscriminate collection of information; its a list of fictional turtles. The topic of the article is precisely defined. I fail to see how DIR applies; this isn't a directory or anything close to what that policy describes as a directory. These lists are easily verifiable, and each entry should be of a notable subject making the list notable. Several of these lists have come to AfD before, with the result being keep or no consensus (I could not find any that resulted in delete, but that doesn't mean there haven't been any) Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_fictional_dogs|AfD/List of fictional dogs, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_fictional_cats|AfD/List of fictional cats, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_fictional_monkeys_and_List_of_fictional_apes|AfD/List of fictional apes, and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_Fictional_Pandas|AfD/List of fictional pandas
