[edit] List of all-men bands

Here is a list with only 3 bands on the list and im suspitious about 2 of them. Listcruft Expand Greatly or Delete --Aranda56 00:22, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

• weak delete certainly verfiable and maintainable (except perhaps in its size), but maybe a WP:POINT about List of all-women bands. Even though I'm a strong keep for the latter, we don't necessarily need to cover all the gender/race/religion/sexual orientation/etc. combinations if we cover one in order to be fair or comprehensive, so it wouldn't be tragic to lose this. My feeling is that since "bands" are dominated by men, this is a bit like list of male mathematicians, where it is more convenient to list only the exceptions rather than the rule. — brighterorange (talk) 00:54, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete way too broad. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:59, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. When it comes down to it, it can never be accurate, since if it were it would contain hundreds if not thousands of entries and require the work of huge numbers of editors to maintain. Chick Bowen 01:19, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - unmaintainable list. While not as bad an idea as List of female actresses, it's worth noting that most bands are all male. --Idont Havaname 01:27, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: To vague. It would be a very large list and doesn't have much significance. RENTASTRAWBERRY ^{FOR LET?} röck 02:56, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Another list that could stretch to the moon and back, while contributing no insight into anything — Cory Maylett 04:07, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as the very definition of listcruft. -- MCB 04:11, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete As said, to vague. The definition used is non-standard, and open to much dispute (e.g. including/excluding based on use of instruments). It would also seem to be an inviting target to non-notable garage bands, who wouldn't qualify for an article, and would be quickly removed from other lists, that are watched by more editors than this probably would be. --rob 04:18, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• delete vague. Next up, list of bands that play guitars? Sabine's Sunbird 01:06, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Proposal. How about a few more useless articles like this. Say: List of bands consisting of men and women, List of bands whose members are all over 40, List of bands whose members don't have long hair, List of bands whose members are divorced, List of bands, one of whose members has AIDS, etc. ♠ DanMS 05:15, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unmaintanable, overly-broad list. Mindmatrix 16:41, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete too vague, impossible to mantain due to potential size. Shauri 00:48, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Yet another non-encyclopaedic list. --Daveb 12:47, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
