I suggest any text not in the standard 'references' and 'external links' be <noinclude>'d, and the page left as it is but transcluded into the relevant pages (if it isn't already).

Why should anyone want to delete them? Bibliographic surveys (particularly annotated bibliographies) would be particularly useful to encourage further study in many broad areas.
Well, yes. Annotation would be the best thing to try first - a good bibliography is certainly not an *indiscriminate* collection of information.
But if people go "ewwww" at the list, see if there's a wikiproject that can put it to good use in project space. This works well with "List of articles about x" that were popular before categories - such lists may be superfluous with the category, but they're still very useful for a wikiproject.
