List of famous musical acts that have played at CBGB

WP:NOT#DIR; List of loosely associated topics. Just because some unrelated musical acts happened to have played at a small venue at some point in their careers is not a strong enough connection or identifying characteristic to create a list of those artists. Many of the most significant artists are already mentioned in the main article; any other major performances can also be added there. Masaruemoto 01:37, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Don't think a local venue deserves to have a seperate article about notable acts. Mention this in the club's article itself, it should be enough--JForget 01:52, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete While technically a "small venue", my understanding is that it was very important historically for the associated genre. However I think an EL for the article that lists the bands in the main CBGB article would be better. Lipsticked Pig 02:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Placed EL with list of notable acts on CBGB main article page. Lipsticked Pig 05:16, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Lipsticked Pig, and follow L.P.'s advice with regard to the external link. The article about CBGB already mentions the major acts who were closely associated with the venue (such as Blondie and Talking Heads). There were many other acts who were less closely associated with CBGB, but nonetheless played there at some point in their career; we don't need a separate article to list them. --Metropolitan90 04:05, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. CBGB was a temple of its types of music, regardless of size. --Nricardo 22:08, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to a section in the article on CBGB. It's probably fair to note the bands that were actually influential to the scene on the venue's article, but this does not warrant it's own article. A1octopus 16:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge into CBGB. For its genre, it was as important as other halls were for their genres, like Carnegie Hall, Club 47, Grand Ole Opry. And every performance hall, even a famous one, is local. -- Yellowdesk 04:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I would not recommend merging this page back into CBGB - it was originally moved here because it was making the main article unwieldy and was often vandalized. I can see how this list is still the magnet for vandals that it was when it was part of the CBGB page. However, CBGB was more significant than just an average rock venue, and I believe this is not just a vanity list. - AKeen 13:59, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
