Delete. We don't do "todo" commands at wikipedia. Also, it introduces a secondary talkpage for a topic already at the talkpage. Such lists tend to be skipped (by good sense), because it is a
]- Keep as creator. Having an organised list of modules to be converted is more useful than the talk-page format of Wikipedia:Lua/Requests, as you can see things that need converting at a glance. Also, we do use to-do lists: for example, see Template:To do which has 7500 transclusions. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 06:01, 22 May 2015 (UTC)]
- Keep as per Mr. Stradivarius. Rationale for deletion is flawed, page is useful to Lua project and in use. It is not a talk page, and quite distinct in it's use and purpose. --Jules (Mrjulesd) 09:30, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
- How 'flawed'? When I write 'introducing multi-forum splits the discussion' (and that's not about heated talk strategies, but simply about template/module development progress), I'm clear. For example, the module:String series were Lua-fied without such a todo list. Because it is not our work-process route. We also do not have a page "To do: articles that are not FA".

- keep. I don't see any other page that covers this. Maybe one day it will be empty and new tasks will come up sporadically and so can be handled on the talk page but now I think it has a purpose.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 02:21, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
