There is currently a vote to delete this very old thread. I am writing to register my strong protest against this and bring it to the attention of other users here on meta.

    $\begingroup$ Voted to reopen. It is true that it is a list question, but I find it quite interesting. $\endgroup$ Jul 20, 2020 at 22:00

If there's one vote to delete, you shouldn't worry about it too much; it takes 10 votes to delete a question which such a high score. Delete votes never expire, but the chances that it will accumulate so many votes are low.

I'd say that the question is rightfully closed (it's a textbook list question); similar old questions around the network have got a historical lock, though that would prevent voting and editing.

    $\begingroup$ I agree with the question remaining closed, but (even aside from my highly-upvoted answer) I think it should not be deleted. $\endgroup$
