[edit] Redundancy

I really feel this "List of New Zealand musicians" is redundant. The List-of page provides almost no additional information that couldn't be provided by correct categorization on Category:New Zealand musical groups, Category:New Zealand musicians, and Category:New Zealand songwriters. The redlinks (which is most of them!) could simply be moved to the Category pages' description to await creation. Protest here.. Oliver Lineham 06:03, 2004 Dec 26 (UTC)

Sorry but you are wrong... WP:MUSIC sets out criteria for artists/groups to get an individual article. Until such time that a group/artist meets that criteria this is a good place to list them and briefly discuss them until they hit the big time and meet the criteria in WP:MUSIC.Garrie 05:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Well the red links are gone, presumably they weren't referenced. What this list needs now is notes such as genre, years active and best known/highest charting song(s). Kappa 07:31, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Correct Catagorising

Hey all. If you find this i have a backup on this page at User:PhatePunk/NZmus. I am going through the list to add correct catagorys. Any help appreciated PhatePunk 23:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alphabetization notes

In case someone is inclined to "correct" these: Libraries catalogue Che Fu under C - its a stage name. Dei Hamo is H, however. Also, the Maori name Te Whatever is listed under T. dramatic 10:06, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
