All Tomorrow's Parties Festival lineups

 * – ( View AfD View log )

There are so many issues with this ludicrously broad directory article that it's hard to know where to start. I will try to summarise my arguments and relate them to Wikipedia policies as much as possible.


 * WP:LISTN - this is not covered significantly by reliable sources independent of the subject although you can find sources for some (e.g. and )
 * WP:IINFO/WP:RAWDATA - Wikipedia is not an exhaustive directory of every single act that has ever taken to the stage at a concert
 * WP:LISTPURP - this list is not a valuable information source, it does not assist in navigation and it does not aid in development of the encyclopaedia
 * WP:SALAT - I don't believe that this list meets the principles outlined here; it's too broad to have any encyclopaedic value and I do not personally believe that it contributes effectively to this great encyclopaedia
 * WP:ATD - I would strongly oppose any attempt to merge this article, because of its size, and I can't think of an obvious redirect target
 * Previous consensus on similar articles has resulted in delete, delete, delete and redirect. Spiderone  23:12, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. RobinCarmody (talk) 21:05, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Listcruft at its worst (or best?). This belongs to some fan page or an archives site of the All Tomorrow's Parties (if there is any), not here. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 13:46, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect. This is not really something that warrants a list. jp×g 06:47, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep This is an unscientific vote - it is based on the fact that there has been a lot of work and effort put into this list over the years by a number of different contributors. In addition, my threshold for lists is very low and simple - does it lend itself to getting to more information quickly and easily by having good wikilinks - and this list passes that bar without trouble.--Concertmusic (talk) 14:13, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * There surely has to be a better place for this than a general encyclopaedia. I respect that a lot of editors have added to this list but it does not make the topic notable and it's the notability of this topic that's up for debate here. Spiderone  18:36, 10 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete - as per WP:NOTDIR.  Onel 5969  TT me 21:57, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
