List of Albanian rock bands

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

At this point, we have a "list of Albanian rock bands". However, all of the names on the list are not actually links to bands, but to an indiscriminate list of subjects, including burn, clown, germs, hard, etc. In essence, this list of Albanian rock bands, that has not asserted significance or importance or established notability. In general, when a person, group, or organization is added to a list, we need to show a pre-existing article to establish notability. There are several red links to non-notable entities, followed by citations to outside sources. PROD removed. Cindy ( need help? ) 06:33, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment I see the problem with the current state: many redlink names, plus bluelink names that do not lead to articles about the bands but to other topics, but isn't this one for (vigorous) pruning so that it adheres to WP:LISTPEOPLE rather than outright deletion? AllyD (talk) 08:36, 1 April 2013 (UTC) As an example/start, I've applied this to letters A to C on the list. AllyD (talk) 09:05, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: Any real listing of notable bands can be covered in Albanian rock. I just don't think we have enough contributors to merit a separate article here (that complies with policies) that is worth keeping and maintaining.--Milowent • hasspoken  13:49, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - This is more an editing question than a notability question. There is indeed a long (overlong) "List of Albanian Rock Bands" at the end of Albanian rock. Best to lose that, make conspicuous note of this page there, and to work hard to improve and source out the current list. Carrite (talk) 16:31, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - as per Carrite. --Robert EA Harvey (talk) 08:15, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Enough accurate blue links to warrant its own article, too long a list to stick somewhere else neatly. I removed a couple of blue links that linked to something unrelated by mistake.   D r e a m Focus  02:11, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep but certainly tidy up and raise to standard per nominator's points. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 22:32, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete far, far too many red links. I suggest a partial merge which would included adding the more notable bands in this article to a section of the article Albanian music.
