Why this list sucks big wet rocks
Not that it is alone in this suckiness, mind, but it is a good bad example.

The worst sin is the traffic flow. I'd wager that the great majority of users who swing by this page do so ONLY to edit something — paste in their fave performer, tweak links to other WP articles, or (rarely) remove non-notables or other erroneous data. Few (if any) page visitors drop by to scan through the heap, which has been carefully alphabetized for no particular reason.

The final downfall of almost all lists stems from their utter uselessness as a work of reference. Let's say that Maná was touring the area, and I wanted to write a puff piece. Recalling that Sergio Vallín sometimes played an unusual Fender guitar, I consider adding a comment about this. Where then do I turn? Obviously: first to Sergio Vallín then, if that's a wash, Maná, and finally over to the various non-WP sources (official sites, fan sites, the Fender site) — in NO CASE do I think it would be a good idea to dredge through a Wikipedia list only to possibly come up with what is probably some piece of random guesswork by a tone-deaf teenage non-musician.

In sum, the ONLY actual utility of most WP lists is to give fans a place to show off their useless knowledge in a manner that doesn't clog up an actual ARTICLE. The primary reason to maintain lists at all is much the same as calling Roto-Rooter to keep your toilet drain clear. Weeb Dingle (talk) 17:00, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Weeb Dingle, no, "traffic flow" is not the worst sin, but OK--I have redirected the article to Fender amplifier. Problem is that's also a shitty article, so if you feel like you want to get busy, there it is. Drmies (talk) 00:57, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
