I came across this list of mottos and I'm not sure if it is worth having a list of mottos? Do we need a list of mottos? It has been tagged with insufficient inline citations since 2013 and if this is meant to be a list of all mottos, well it's definitely never going to be complete and it is already huge so I don't think it would be a good idea to add more. Anyway, I want to see what others think, don't mind the outcome Steven (Editor) (talk) 02:05, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The size of a length and whether it can be completed are not valid reasons for deletion. This is a useful tool for research, and useful to have in an encyclopedia. Dream Focus 04:42, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep This is certainly an indiscriminate list but has potential despite the current lack of sources – it needs some sort of inclusion criteria. Having written List of U.S. state and territory mottos to FL I know there ought to be sources and a way to establish the the list as a whole, but it shouldn't be indefinitely long. Not sure high schools really need to be listed (and delete the universities since there's a separate list for that). But to begin with, most of those in the Business section are actually slogans not mottos and quite a few of those listed for cities are actually nicknames...

It would be more useful as seperate articles. Rathfelder (talk) 07:09, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Seems like a reasonable list. Will probably require splitting. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:07, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
