WikiQueer:Overlistification

Overlistification is the Overcategorization guideline tweaked for application to lists. It is a tool useful for determining if a list should be deleted or merged in an article for deletion discussion.

Trivia/Trivial Lists
This is essentially expanding upon what WikiQueer is not: an indiscriminate collection of information. Lists such as these may prove fun and even useful, but they are ultimately of little or no academic encyclopedic value. Trivia should be saved for sites such as www.imdb.com, or, if pertinent in some way, the articles for the listees.

Over-extensive Lists
When a list is prone to having many listees that can never have an article written about them, or that simply fail notability, the list can usually be deemed as over-extensive and should be renamed, and split into more specific sublists if over-extensive and unmaintainably large. WikiQueer is not paper but it is bytes.
