What should we do with these pages? According to our policy, the references should be put in each article, not move them to a new article and these articles could be speedied for no actual content. Articles discussing the historiography of each subject would be OK, but as actual articles, not just as lists of books/links. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliography_of_the_Darfur_conflict http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliography_of_the_Lord%27s_Resistance_Army http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliography_of_Canadian_History http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliography_of_the_Rwandan_Genocide http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_(resources) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Railway_Bibliography etc.
Surely there are wikiprojects on en: that would like to look at those and turn them into proper articles? Or at least move them into project space, which is another really good thing to do with pages of this sort that have become superfluous in the article space itself. (Some may be a bit contentious for this ...)
Why should anyone want to delete them? Bibliographic surveys (particularly annotated bibliographies) would be particularly useful to encourage further study in many broad areas.
