List of straight edge groups[edit]

Not really listcruft per se, but items such as these work better as categories. My vote is categorize and delete. -- H·G (words/works) 19:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, this could work nice as a category. Some red links would be lost, but those bands are probably not that notable. Punkmorten 20:55, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Categorise and Delete per nominator hoopydinkConas tá tú? 20:55, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep, the red links are notable within the subject, not wiki which would could lead to articles being written. Ondcp 14:18, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think I follow. If the band is notable within a genre listed on Wikipedia, how could it not be notable enough for Wikipedia? Conversely, if a band is not considered notable enough for Wikipedia, how would it be considered notable within a genre listed on Wikipedia? -- H·G (words/works) 20:31, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • because all that means is that no one has taken the time to create a wiki entry for them. wiki is not a be all end all of information. which is why lists like this one have value when you're talking about a specific subject, like straight edge bands which is a very specific genre.Ondcp 01:58, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep although some of the bands are not notable, the subject is worthy of being noted.24.57.5.161
  • I think the article is very well written, and thus it should stay. Also, the list of SxE groups/bands could be a little more thorough, but it's better than nothing.--70.58.50.136 02:04, 21 July 2006 (UTC)Whitney[reply]
  • Comment, deleting this list wouldn't delete reference to the subject; there's a great page on Straight edge already, and it certainly deserves a good article. My nomination for deleting this list was simply because I think this list would work better as a category. I'm not sure how a list article can be "well-written" if it's just a list, though I agree that there are reasons to argue for keeping it (see Ondcp's post above). -- H·G (words/works) 20:24, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, it's an important list and provides valuable information which isn't available elsewhere. Merging it with the article Straight Edge would create confusion and be aesthetically unpleasing and deletion is NOT an option as far as I'm concerned.--82.0.16.248 17:24, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Categorize --Yunipo 21:04, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Categorize and delete. Per nom. It's easy enough to create a one paragraph stub for any bands on the list that are notable enough. Then they'll all be listed in the category. MarkBuckles 06:23, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's easy enough and then actually takes away the entire point, since the straight edge article has bands that are notable. A comprehensive list has value, categories do not. --Ondcp 11:44, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Categorise and Delete Per nom --Peephole 13:07, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
