List of noise musicians[edit]

I've been watching this article for a few months now, and all it does is act as a depository for redlinks to artists who'll most likely never have an article written about them. Whilst there are some notable artists redlinked, most of them are not. Thus, the article is practically useless, and only serves as a billboard for people to get their non-notable projects listed. Also, 'Category:Noise music' does a better job. Cnwb 22:36, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. While there are a bunch of non-notable red-linked musicians listed, there are also a number of notable ones with articles. It does need some cleanup, but other than that, I see nothing wrong with it. — TheKMan^talk 22:47, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Users have to wade through all the redlinks in order to find the active links. 'Category:Noise music' does exactly the same job, but only has active links. Cnwb 22:57, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm sorting through them right now. A number of red links will be removed, but I see a few that seem notable, but do not have articles as of now. — TheKMan^talk 23:06, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks for offering to help. I've cleaned it up before, but the problem is it acts like a magnet. There are new redlinks every few days. Cnwb 23:11, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - I cleaned up the red links, but some of the articles listed should be placed on AfD, in my opinion. — TheKMan^talk 01:04, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Excellent work KMan, I'll vigilantly keep an eye on any new additions as they emerge. Cnwb 06:08, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep you can do things with lists you cant with categories. Such as redlinks. Or notes about (in this case) individual musicians. Jcuk 23:36, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Lord knows this list has its problems, but with more attention of the kind it's been getting lately, it could be pretty useful -- certainly more so than the hard-to-read, semi-organized hairball of articles, subcategories, and lists that Categories tend to be.

Delete as a poorly-defined list. Stifle 23:50, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's a list of musicians involved in the "noise music" genre. How is this list poorly defined? — TheKMan^talk 00:14, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
