There are much grime artists listed here, do they belong here?

probably not. i would like to see this list pruned to artists that belong in the created category, and i suppose eventually deleted. --Kaini 03:30, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I've removed all the redlinks, which aren't needed in lists as they can't be verified (as they don't have articles) and also a few grime artists with no mention of dubstep in their articles. I guess it is a bit short now, so probably would hold up at AfD if you wanted to send it there. - Zeibura (Talk) 05:06, 21 June 2007 (UTC)]
Aaah, I edit conflicted with you restoring the refs. Saw that edit just after posting the above comment. Nicely done. - Zeibura (Talk) 05:18, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] JME

i added a bunch more refs from The Wire. i'm in two minds about JME... he is undoubtedly a grime artist, but he has collaborated with Skream on a few tracks. thoughts? --Kaini 18:35, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd say Tapped (which is mentioned in this pitchfork article incase a ref is needed) is enough for JME's inclusion in the list. The header does say "artists who have releases in dubstep style", and he's definitely contributed something to the scene through collabing with Skream. Also from a personal point of view I'd say a lot of his solo grime tracks have obvious dubstep characteristics (e.g. the bassline in "Deadout"), and that he's often on the edge between grime and dubstep with lyrics. Can't find anything to verify this though. - Zeibura (Talk) 18:47, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
good enough for me :) - i've added him to the cat as well --Kaini 18:59, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] zomby

i've added this stub... for now. i've asked the article creator to flesh it out beyond a stub and made him aware of stuff like WP:N. let's see how this plays out... --Kaini (talk) 00:55, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
