Delete I'm responsible for most of the content by adding it from {{Superstition}}; other efforts have been remarkably incomplete. At this time, I agree that there's no way to make a reasonable list here; many entries are folklore, some are urban legends, and some have no real connection at all (
Witch window). {{Superstition}} will also need some serious work.

Keep and Split Superstitions are a very common and important part of cultures throughout the world, and so I don't think the article should be deleted all together. However, I do agree it is way too broad and so I propose it should be made into a lists article that splits into different lists for countries and/or cultures like list of superstitions in canada, for example, similar to articles like
/info/en/?search=Lists_of_cities_by_country and
/info/en/?search=Lists_of_deities_by_cultural_sphere. Most of these articles do not exist yet so they could just be red links for now.

Keep It list all articles about superstitions, thus aiding in navigation.
Category:Superstitions exist already. If something can be put in a category it can be put on a list. Changing it into a table so it could also include information such as more specific region of origin and what it is, would make it far more useful than a category.

Also, I seriously doubt moral right of arguments against keeping this list article since Wikipedia has not done away with concept of Lists, Lists seem to serve ease of access and reading function to readers compared to templates and categories, for example
Category:Indexes of religion topics has almost 12 list articles and such many does exist on Wikipedia, so why subject of
Superstition can not have a list?
Keep per previous arguments; notable topic, articles requiring improvement are not articles requiring deletion. Can see argument for splitting, as a full list could be unwieldy.
