*'''Delete''' You went to a lot of trouble to make an index... but it's way too broad, with everything from a list of 17th century hurricanes to zoos in India. There are already lists of zoos, lists of hurricanes, etc.; Technically, everything in our environment has an "environment-theme" (a terrible title, by the way), but this needs to be pared way down. As an index, because it's too inclusive, it's not very useful. I think you'll find that most of these topics are on other lists already; a "list of environment-themed lists" would have been easier and more useful, although your definition of environment themes is still way too broad. My suggestion to the author-- SAVE IT on your computer it before it vanishes (and it will), don't get discouraged by the delete, consider something different.

*'''Delete''', such lists are better off as categories and will be easier to maintain. Its very difficult to list all the articles of the same topic in lists by alphabetical order. I would not say this is listcruft but rather redundant these days. [[User:Terence|Terence]] 13:05, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
*'''Comment'''. I find the list containing zoos a bit weird. As defined by the wikiproject environment, it analyzes "the effects of humans on the natural environment". [[User:OhanaUnited|<span style="font-weight:bold"><
*'''Delete'''. This is precisely the thing categories are suppoed to do. [[User:Arkyan|<b><
*'''Keep''' the parent list until the appropriate contents have been categorized, then delete. There doesn't seem to be a category for Lists of environment-related lists. Since this will take some effort to accomplish, perhaps the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment]] should take this on. Delete the subsidairy lists, since they seem to be redundant.--[[User:Hjal|Hjal]] 16:24, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
::The number of articles that do pertain to [[:Category:Environment]] are quite likely to have already been categorised. The articles that are not yet included in the Environment category would be quite small. Therefore the task would be best done by other means such as using the search function.

* '''Comment.''' The [[list of environment-theme lists of topics]] was categorized [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_environment-theme_lists_of_topics&diff=74464235&oldid=70440352] into [[:Category:Wikipedia core topics]] on 8 September 2006 by [[User:Pegship|Pegship]]. -- [[User:Wavelength|Wavelength]] 14:57, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
*'''Merge''' all pages into [[List of environment-theme lists of topics]], per example of other [[Lists of topics]] such as [[List of ecology topics]], [[List of environmental issues]], and [[List of conservation topics]]. If that is insufficient then also move the resulting page into projectspace (under [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment]]). --[[User:Quiddity|Quiddity]] 19:59, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' the main page and '''merge''' the rest into a more manageable number of pages, if too large for one. Few of these subpages are so large as to warrant separate pages for each letter of the alphabet, and each page unnecessarily duplicates a large opening section. Other than that it serves as a "''structured list to assist with the organisation of articles''", which [[WP:NOT#LINK]] explicitly allows. See also [[WP:LIST]].
