[edit] List of Assyrian musicians

List of Assyrian musicians (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Delete or Possible merge into Assyrian music. I did not count, but it's about 99% redlinks -- NN on its own apparently. Just H 21:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete I counted. It's 215 red links, and one blue link. This has got to be WP:NN--Anthony.bradbury 21:24, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Non-inclusion is not an indicator of non-notability, and the list may serve for development purposes. However, sources would be nice to prove that the other 214 are notable; as I'm not familiar with Assyrian music, I won't vote on this unless I have time to do some research. cab 23:53, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep but scale way down. I think it's quite plausible that even the big names in Assyrian music would come out as red-links. Wikipedia tends to do poorly at parts of the Third World so lists help expansion. Still there's too many here and references are needed.--T. Anthony 00:39, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - the reason I created this page is because unregisterd users (many different ones) kept on adding Assyrian artist names to the Assyrian music page, and it wasn't looking nice by making the list so long and whomever they added was always red. So what I did is kept the ones that are not red in the Assyrian music page, and created a new page for a complete list. The page is basically a list..as people start pages of these artists, little by little the page will show its significance. Chaldean 03:20, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep Article appears to function as a development list, the third valid function at Wikipedia:List guideline. Most lists these days are not devlopment lists, but that doesn't mean that they have become invalid. However, established wiki editors should not just dump everything onto the list; they should evaluate whether an encyclopedia article is reasonably believed possible before adding them.

I understand that, and I am not the one that has added these names. Its different people from different IPs. I just created the page, because it was getting annoying rving all the times in Assyrian music and List of Assyrians page Chaldean 20:12, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
