List of Christian alternative bands
The only thing coherent about this article is its title. The page is a list of random links that are neither "Christian" nor "alternative", and often not even musical groups at all. I thought about listing for {attention} but cleaning up this list would be much harder than recreating it (assuming anyone actually wants to). I've had it marked as {disputed} for 6 weeks now and apparently no one cares enough to fix it. BrainyBroad 19:12, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the list is certainly a good idea, but you're right, it's an editting nightmare. Unless anyone says otherwise, I am going to start blanking the non-noteable entries from the list.  HackJandy 21:44, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I cleaned up a lot of the article, but I lost interest and don't care if it gets deleted anymore. HackJandy 22:43, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per HackJandy. This is a legitimate genre, yet one that's not so broad as to likely have thousands of entries. I agree, though, it needs to be vetted for non-notable listings. 23skidoo 22:29, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This is not in any sense a list of "Christian alternative bands." More than half (probably closer to 90%) of the musicians in the list are not alternative. If a list of Christian alternative bands article is needed then fine, but this list is certainly not it. Tsm1128 22:43, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I had a 30 second browse and found many entries that weren't even musicians! I'm thinking Delete, with the potential for later and saner recreation.
 * Delete. I'm not an expert on Christian music, but I have a reasonably good idea of what Christian alternative music would be like, and I know that Amy Grant and Charlie Daniels are not examples of it. If anyone wants to rescue this article, I would recommend deleting all the redlink entries and limiting the list to actual Christian alternative bands. --Metropolitan90 02:24, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Despite the cleanup, there are still redlink entries and entries for bands which have not been established as being involved in Christian music. --Metropolitan90 16:21, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and possibly create a category.Gateman1997 19:37, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep VfD is not cleanup.  Grue   16:34, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Neutral, it can be saved because it is good topic, but as it is now it is not very unencyclopediac. Croat Canuck 03:01, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
