Reference lists are constantly being proposed for deletion. They don't seem to be well-liked in "(main)", nor in "Wikipedia:" (largely administrative), and would be warping "Portal:" from the current usage. Yet, anybody with familiarity of an actual paper encyclopedia knows that reference lists are encyclopedic. The solution over at Wiktionary appears to be adding an Appendix: namespace for reference lists, about 6 months ago. (brought here at Rob's suggestion)

I'd say that you first should ask the community about that, no?
It was brought here from the Village Pump, where the few comments were uniformly positive, and taken there from discussion on various Wikipedia talk pages where it had been originally proposed, noting the previous Wiktionary solution.
i see discussion here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive#Appendix_namespace where people were opposed to creating this namespace. was it discussed somewhere else?
closing this as there's no clear consensus from the community.
