 * Keep As a perfectly fine list with clear inclusion criteria. However, better articles already exist here, so this really needs redirecting to it.  Lugnuts  (talk) 16:46, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete As Lugnuts points out, better articles already exist, and I would be surprised if there's anything here that isn't already on one of those lists. I appreciate the ambition involved in seeking to make a complete list of musicals, but it's a bigger task than the author imagines.  Just on Broadway alone there have been thousands of musicals that have come and gone over the years.  Mandsford 19:13, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Lugnuts Polarpanda (talk) 19:27, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as content is already provided at fully worked out articles. if we had no lists of musical already, this would be unacceptable as is. title is wrong, lead is wrong, no links, no references. probable search term, so redirect. if the author thinks any of these musicals are NOT on the established lists, they can add them. I admire the work put into it, but didnt the creator guess that someone before today just MIGHT have created, say, a List of musicals?Mercurywoodrose (talk) 20:22, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - crummy duplication of already existing article(s). Given title can never be accurate, thus it's an unlikely search term.--70.80.234.196 (talk) 04:27, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Question Is this what CSD A10 is for? Anyway, delete per above as duplicating existing material with an inaccurate article title.  Them  From  Space  19:33, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete without redirecting. We already have appropriate lists of musicals, but none of them are complete.  Redirecting would be misleading. -- Whpq (talk) 20:37, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
