Atlantic Records artists[edit]

This is the sort of lists which is bordering on the indiscriminate per WP:NOT. In addition, its name does not follow naming conventions. Ohconfucius 10:11, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The name problem, if any, is easily amended and not a ground for deletion. Given the almost legendary status of Atlantic Records, this list may well be considered encyclopedic. --Lambiam ^Talk 16:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
keep - the label is notable and so are the artists listed. If the name is a problem then it should be renamed/moved. --mathewguiver 18:45, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, notable topic, slightly annotated list making it superior to a plain category. Kappa 06:32, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There seems to be quite a lot of argumentation along the lines that "what harm is there in a list?". I contend that unless they are short and "closed" in nature, lists more often than not indiscriminate. However, the reason why categories exist in the first place is to enable better organisation and cross referencing. Including artists within the appropriate category is efficient; indexing is automatic: a category can be browsed much more easily than scrolling down a long list, which has to be updated; The mergers of labels and artists switching labels would make this list problematic.

keep - There is nothing wrong with an article that chronicles a record labels roster, past and present. I have no idea why anyone would find fault with this. It's informative. —DtownG 16:37, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
