 * Hope OR never lets you down again...: Sadly, though it's an interesting read, I don't think this can be saved from ORdom, I'd be willing to make a go at fixing it or merging or doing something with it, because it looks like an informative list if nothing else.  Unfortunately, this kind of thing is probably also prone to the "hey! you forgot !" unmaintainability issues.  Any ideas on something constructive that could be done with the list? it's obvious someone took a lot of time on this and it's a musical genre I'm a big fan of, so if something could be done with all or part of it (IE transwiki, a music site, ect.) I'd like to try. Wintermut3 04:23, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Something constructive would be tracking down culture mag references that say each and every song on there is important. Not just chart placing, as that hardly denotes the sort of lasting influence that "key" implies (and then the list might as well be titled "Chart topping new wave artists"), but also claiming some sort of other effects. --Eyrian 05:08, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom - abolutely POV as it stands - better as a category?  SkierRMH, 07:46, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * comment Eyrian: The problem is I don't think that most of this *can* be sourced as written, because it's such a subjective criteria, heck even 'new wave' is a subjective criteria, I know some people that would object to lumping The Cure in with synthpop... I guess I'm wondering if there's a better place to move this or something we could do to save it from unmaintainability and heavy POV issues without nuking it utterly.Wintermut3 08:47, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete No clear criteria, original research. —ShadowHalo 21:48, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
