In 2009 scientists announced the discovery of a carving of a mammoth or mastodon on a piece of bone found north of Vero Beach (the general area in which Vero Man was found). The carving may be the oldest art found in the Americas. Scientists studying the carving noted similarities with Pleistocene art in Europe. Forest ring (?)

Keep, incorrect reasoning, per above comments. Deleting because of the "better as a category-list-template" argument (or any combination thereof) does not only not fit the guideline, but turns the guideline on its head. These arguments have always been and are always invalid. The guideline says that the three ways to create maps on Wikipedia - lists, categories, and templates - complement each other. They are separate. And are encouraged to be separate. Deleting any of these three ways to map Wikipedia because there is an existing category, or list, or template, violates the guideline. They are, by existing language, useful partners. 20 September 2019
Wikipedia recognized and encourages Lists, templates, and categories as three separate and equal ways of ordering a topic, and they exist in tandem. Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates clearly defines this upfront: "This page in a nutshell: Categories, lists, and navigation templates are three different ways to group and organize articles. Although they each have their own advantages and disadvantages, each method complements the others."

This is another example of a theory I've bounced around that Wikipedians, when given limited number of things left to do as the years go by and being accustomed to doing many edits a day/week, will turn to deleting normal components of existing pages. Please be aware of this tendency and take it into account, thanks.
