[Wikipedia-l] list madness

[wojtek pobratyn]

is it just me or has anyone else noticed the sheer
amount of lists that we have? running a title search
for the word 'list' will come up with such bizarre
pages as [[List of places and things named Oxford]].

I know list can be usefull but isn't this going a bit too far?
(especially that we've got a decent search function now).
Shouldn't the lists be simply attached to the main article
without creating a new page for each and every on of 
them? 

regards,
