[edit] List of illbient musicians

Appears to be a list created just for the sake of having such a list, and/or of interest to very few people. In other words, it is listcruft. Stifle 11:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. If we're going to delete this one then we'd have to delete every single list in List of musicians because this list is no more or less significant than the others. Feel free to raise this as a general discussion, but let's not just delete one randomly selected item out of many. GeorgeStepanek\^talk 15:00, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Much better served by a category. This is hardly a "random selection", George, considering this list has about three items. (Though I do support transforming all the musician lists into categories. What better place to start?) StarryEyes 16:11, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, textbook category situation. Although I have to admit having to vote on this article taught me what 'illbient' meant. Thanks, article! Lord Bob 17:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, musicians (and everybody else) can be categorised using categories (its what they're for). Lists are not needed. ::Supergolden:: 17:35, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and replace with category. Royboycrashfan 19:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Lists and Categories are both useful in different ways. Jcuk 22:07, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Lists are extremely useful because they indicate which musicians do and don't have articles yet (presuming they meet WP:NMG of course). Capitalistroadster 00:43, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I've added a handful more. Some of them are redlinks, so they can't be part of the suggested category. Grutness...wha? 00:59, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Illbient which seems to be a pretty small article and maybe a list would give a better sense of what kind of music it means.--T. Anthony 04:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep , I guess. I've never heard of "illbient" music before but I guess it sounds like something I'd like. Cyde Weys 06:04, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Capitalistroadster. Lists and categories are NOT mutually exclusive and lists can contain info categories can't. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:34, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Illbient as per T. Anthony. Several of the musicians listed don't really belong here anyway. —Wahoofive (talk) 17:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
