I wish there were widespread general consensus that there should not be a "list of X" article unless there is already a high-quality article on the topic of "X." And the list should begin as a section within the "X" article and should not be broken out until it becomes unmanageably long.
For some topics, I would suggest that there shouldn't be a need for a list within the main article (except perhaps as summary), or a list article. Instead the content should be arranged as sections and paragraphs, e.g. going through things chronologically or such. In other words, an encyclopaedia article rather than a trivia look-up chart.
