This also seems like a band-aid to a bigger issue: outdated, difficult to manage, category system.[[User:Blue Pumpkin Pie|<b style="color: #4682B4">Blue</b> <b style="color: #20B2AA">Pumpkin</b> <b style="color: #DAA520">Pie</b>]] <sup>[[User talk:Blue Pumpkin Pie|Chat]]</sup> <sup>[[Special:Contributions/Blue Pumpkin Pie|Contribs]]</sup> 18:21, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
:I'll point to [[List of fictional badgers]] and its current AFD as a starting point for discussion that these lists need to have two things going for them to keep:
:# That either the list as a whole is sourced to appropriate GNG-type sourcing, or you can talk about the nature of fictional X (but not the entire set) with GNG-type sourcing. This latter is the case for the fictional badgers list as identified at the AFD. It would likely be the case for a "Fictional doomsday device" too without doing any research on that.
:# That the inclusion metrics for the list are either 1) that the entire list is sourced to one or more RS sources that cover the entire list (highly unlikely), 2) each item is a blue-link to a standalong article dedicated to the fictional item, or 3) the item is sourced to a third-party, independent RS that affirms the item should be on the list, avoiding [[WP:TRIVIA]].
:Without either, these are just random pop culture lists and need to be removed, they just simply aren't appropriate for WP. --[[User:Masem|M<span style="font-variant: small-caps">asem</span>]] ([[User Talk:Masem|t]]) 18:28, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
