a list of
This apparently was originally [[List of basic topics]] and its
children, and the rename to Outlines was done by [[User:The

started by Larry Sanger, so this is not a new thing.

My recommendation would be to delete them on sight. Given the
situation at en.wp, this is better done with a formal VfD,
triple-signed by someone else and already attached objections and
