Hi all, Why not create a separate wiki for Lists, call it WikiLists and allow the archival of all sorts of lists on whatever anyone wants to make a list of, be it disaster victims, Restaurants in the Chicago area, Languages spoken in the Amazon jungle, who knows what will be useful to someone else, and the nice thing about it is that it could serve as a reference for other wiki projects where long lists aren't so welcomed ... I remember running into a problem with vocab lists when Wiktionary in English was first put online. Lists are definitely useful to some people and definitely good resources when you might need such a thing on whatever subject your interest is.
So WikiLists would be an excellent project and would resolve the dispute. With interwiki links one could very well take advantage of a nice project like that I would think.
With sincere regards, Jay B.

Short version: There is a huge battle going on in which VFDers on WP, WS, and Commons are pushing user-compiled lists from one project to another. In each case, they are saying the lists belong on one of the other 3 projects. Almost nobody is saying that these lists don't belong anywhere, but nobody can decide on where they belong. It also doesn't help that nobody on one project accepts the outcome of another project's VFD (an outcome which may have said to transwiki to this project) as a reason to keep it on this project.
