*'''Delete''' per Zxcvbnm. The list is [[WP:INDISCRIMINATE]], and the redirects can be pointed to new targets per Pokelego999. [[User:Shooterwalker|Shooterwalker]] ([[User talk:Shooterwalker|talk]]) 00:51, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' as a merge target of multiple NN other articles. The topic of the list is 'Doctor Who' not 'Doctor Who Items' so the topic is clearly notable, even though many of the individual elements are clearly not, which per [[WP:CSC]] is a textbook application: {{tq|These lists are created explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles}}.

*:Even so, the subjects must be described as a group in order to determine the notability of this deviation, as well as the fact that the list must not fall afoul of INDISCRIMINATE, among many other reasons.

*'''Delete''' per Zxcvbnm - The couple of notable entries in this list already have their own individual articles, and the remainder are non-notable topics that are either poorly sourced or have no sources at all outside of Dr. Who itself. The overall topic of Dr. Who being notable does not mean that lists of random, vaguely related topics can't also fall under being [[WP:INDISCRIMINATE]]. I have no objection to individual redirects being created, as suggested by Pokelego999. [[User:Rorshacma|Rorshacma]] ([[User talk:Rorshacma|talk]]) 16:07, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' as [[WP:INDISCRIMINATE]] and redirect incoming per Pokelego999. This fails [[WP:LISTN]] as the topic of the article, despite assertions above, is actually "Doctor Who Items" as notability is not [[WP:NOTINHERITED]]. We are not a random collection of fictional minutia. This is particulaly true for lists of fictional items (e.g. [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Torchwood items|Torchwood items]], [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of items in Once Upon a Time|Once Upon a Time items]], [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Items in the Metroid series (2nd nomination)|Metroid items]], [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of W.I.T.C.H. items|W.I.T.C.H. items]], [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of spells in Harry Potter|Harry Potter spells]], [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Space: 1999 weapons and equipment|Space: 1999 weapons]], etc., etc.). The question that should be asked is has the group "Items in Doctor Who" been treated as a group in high quality RSs, to which I think the answer is no.[[User:Cakelot1|<span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Cakelot1</span>]] ☞&#xFE0F; [[User talk:Cakelot1|<span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">''talk''</span>]] 20:42, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
