Delete as explained in the last AfD, hundreds upon thousands of entries could be put into this list, this is a prime example of a good idea that is not practical.

Delete and redirect to Lists of animals; ridiculously indiscriminate and duplicates shorter, more manageable lists. As this has existed since 2015 and changed significantly since then, not a CSD G4 candidate. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:14, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the perfect example of WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE. Ajf773 (talk) 20:49, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - indiscriminate, and potentially unmanageably vast. Kill it before it kills us :p --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 09:36, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and redirect I think the article should be deleted. but I think it would be useful for searches to redirect the article to the Lists of animals article that is a similar topic 72.73.117.105 (talk) 23:19, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
