I don't see lists as belonging on the Wikipedia at all. However, I do see them as an important affiliated project, in a way similar to the Wiktionary.
Even when lists aren't of much interest in themselves, they can be useful to help people find articles.
It's not uncommon that there's a name you can't remember, but you'd recognise if you saw it. A list page is much better than a search, then.
