Yeah, but what does it have to do with this thread?

I don't think we've discussed the "outline of X" articles much on this list, which surprises me, but people might nonetheless be interested in:

"I would like to propose the removal of all outline articles. All articles currently named "Outline of ..." would be renamed "List of ... topics". If there is already a list of that name, the two would be merged."
Not commenting on the main proposal, but the following surprises me:
"No redirects would be left behind. In addition, any currently existing "Outline of ..." redirects would be eliminated."
That seems to me to misunderstand what redirects are for and how merging operates. Possibly that option was thrown in to ensure that the content would be deleted and not retrievable from the page history. Without that bit, it is merely a merge and/or renaming proposal. With the elimination of redirects, it becomes a deletion proposal.
