Deleted page: List of Library Associations specific to American states

I have been adding links on the page List of Library Associations, which includes an internal link to List of Library Associations specific to American states which didn't exist. The page I created was a continuation of the first list. What should I do differently so that this list isn't deleted. SRHMGSLP (talk) 16:32, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Personally I don't think that articles which consist of nothing but lists are useful at all. However, lists which link to existing Wikipedia articles on notable subjects are widely accepted. Articles which contain nothing but external links are not acceptable, though. I have no idea whether the items on your list are notable enough to have Wikipedia articles. If they aren't then I suggest forgetting about it, or if they are you may like to turn it into a list of links to Wikipedia articles. However, that does not mean start creating articles on non-notable subjects just to justify having them on a list: doing that will just lead to a waste of time as the articles are all deleted. I have restored the deleted article for now, so that you can use it as a base to work from if you like. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:41, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, my next step will be to locate the Wikipedia articles that relate to these pages, many of which are notable organizations. Though I agree that a page of lists is not notable, I think that sometimes lists can bring together information to help lead users to the notable information.
