The key point is that categories were designed for the job this list is trying to do, Categories are more flexible, easier to maintain, and avoid the contentious problem as to what should be in or out (cross-discipline topics are put in more than one category). Ths existence of other lists is no basis for creating, wrongly, yet another one. BlueValour 14:34, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I disagree. Lists are almost always more flexible than categories, and generally much easier to navigate. Though I do agree they are harder to maintain. A particular advantage of lists is that they can capture areas for potential expansion - like this list with entry Superfluid hydrodynamics for example - try putting that in a category. If you are opposed to lists in general then you should take it up at WP:LIST, if you have a problem with this list then take it to an AfD. Megapixie 15:09, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
I agree with you; I have taken it to AfD. The key point is that lists are written in bursts of enthusisam then allowed to become outdated. Red linked items are easilly dealt with; make a stub and add to a category. Lists were developed before categories and are only of value where they are substantailly annotated; not the case here.
