List of Australian composers

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A laundry list of composers with very unclear eligibility criteria (For instance, I wrote a few songs with my high school rock band, should I be included?), most of whom are not notable. Very few of these entries meet WP:LISTPEOPLE, and the list is utterly redundant to Category:Australian composers. Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:55, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Laundry list can be fixed by removing non blue links as I've done with A. Inclustion to such a list should go with the Wikipedia norm. Include notable composers. Notable + independently WP:RS called a Australian composer = on the list. Lists can provide more info than cats can. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:43, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep A notable list of notable people and categories/lists go hand-in-hand, per WP:CLN.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 13:57, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - the obvious thing to do is cull it down to blue links only, not AFD. This is an unfortunately low-quality nomination - David Gerard (talk) 19:41, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm happy to explain to new and inexperienced editors in AfD discussions that lists and categories are not redundant to each other, but it's rather tiresome to have to explain it to an experienced administrator. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:26, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the good faith, gentlemen. It's obvious that consensus won't be reached here to delete, so I Withdraw the nomination.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 06:23, 12 May 2013 (UTC).
