For the exact same reasons as at List of artists who have recorded at PatchWerk Recording Studios and List of artists who have performed at the Colston Hall; this is WP:RAWDATA; Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Wikipedia is not a directory of every band or singer that has played at any particular festival. There is no evidence that playing at this festival is a hugely notable distinction in the field of music that would warrant such an article. Many artists have played here. Some of them are notable. Some of them less so. It clearly isn't that much of an exclusive club. This list does not meet any purpose listed at WP:LISTPURP and as User:Doomsdayer520 said on a previous AfD, this is grouping people together for a reason that is not notable.

In my opinion, for a list like this to be worthy of inclusion, it would need to be something truly notable and exclusive like winning a Nobel Prize or an Academy Award; something in that sort of tier. Otherwise, we just end up with a ludicrously broad list of musicians with only a trivial connection. Spiderone 15:35, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - whilst not a criterion for deletion, I chose 25 articles at random from this list. Only two (!) of them actually mentioned the Casals Festival in the article and, in both cases, it was only mentioned once. This strongly implies that participating in the Casals Festival is not a career-defining moment for the majority of these artists. Spiderone 19:39, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete We do not need to create seperate articles for this. If it is notable enough it can be included in the main article on the festival.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:53, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Spiderone. As a former failed cellist myself, I know that a festival like this is a goal, but its sheer volume of listings means it's not defining. Bearian (talk) 21:21, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agreed, these lists have serve no real purpose JayJay^{What did I do?} 09:25, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
