Unsourced list of artist that "once" performed in this mid sized concert hall. Plain name dropping. List adds nothing to the article of the concert hall. The Banner talk 00:27, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ambivalent - I created the article only because the list was too long for inclusion in the article. I tried to find a source but could not. If y'all think it doesn't belong in Wikipedia, so be it Keizers (talk) 00:35, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Why create something here if you don't care if it survives inclusion? "Ambivalent" is a rotten answer to a question, it's a waste of your good time, and then we have to look at and remind you of such =/ Don't be discouraged from finding good contributions, just be selective in what you submit!

- Comment Ren99, you're making assumptions here. I put the "ambivalent" comment here so people would know what the creator of the article thought and not wonder why I had not chimed in. The "list" article creation creation was part of the cleanup of the already existing main article The Masquerade (Atlanta), i.e. separating out a very long list from the existing article. I could have just said nothing here in this discussion; I certainly did not expect to be reprimanded for it. Zheesh and sigh. Keizers (talk) 02:55, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as trivia. Playing The Masquerade isn't the highlight of one's career, unlike say Carnegie Hall or the Apollo Theater. Do you really want to open the floodgates to every unremarkable venue in the world? Clarityfiend (talk) 03:37, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I don't recall all those bands playing at the venue when I lived in Atlanta. Do you have the actual venue logs in published format so that we can verify the information from both the venue side, as well as from published performance logs from the artists that supposedly played there? The venue should be able to provide you with published performance listings and links where available, and the various record labels/publicity and the bands own logs/fanzine should have records of performance times and dates. If you could add links to that info it would sure help evaluating this timely - otherwise it makes it super difficult to confirm. Thanks :) Яεñ99 (talk) 03:55, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and don't merge back being an unsourced list. Even if this could be reliably sourced, there is no evidence that performing at the concert venue advanced any of these musicians careers, thus a clear cut WP:NOT#INFO violation. To Keizers, you could have just be BOLD and remove the information, as policy applies to every article on this project and this list is no exception. You were right in getting rid of the information from the parent page, but wrong in creating a new article. WP:USERFY would have been a better solution.

- Comment: I found the source, Masquerade's My Space page Keizers (talk) 20:29, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Which is not a reliable, independent source of this subject, and the main problem I am here is if performing at The Masquerade advanced any of the artists listed careers, that what WP:GNG needs to focus on, as the list itself fails the basic NOTINFO policy.
