proposal for deletion

[edit]

I am new to Wikipedia so I apologize if I am misunderstanding. I am unsure what is meant by "reasonable context" (original remarks below from individual who proposed deletion), so it is difficult for me to counter this point. However I do know there is an equivalent page for books in the D/deaf community (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_children%27s_books_featuring_deaf_characters). I did review "Appropriate topics for lists" (mentioned by individual who proposed deletion) and there is no actual criteria included there for what can be a list, just that it cannot be too specific nor too broad. I can state pragmatically many people have used this list to find books for their children, which suggests it is not too specific. Sourcing was not provided on many articles of the deaf characters list so I did not provide it either. However I can provide it.

"This list article is poorly sourced, and is a list without a reasonable context. The thought experiment List of [type of] book(s) featuring [topic a] with [topic b] works well with this list, so I'd argue that we have a typical case of WP:NOTDIRECTORY. There is no indication that this article fulfills any WP:LISTCRITERIA. --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 17:55, 28 August 2023 (UTC)"[reply]
