List of Psychedelic artists

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A somewhat indiscriminate list with no clear boundaries, and enough redlinks to ring alarm bells; if there's a merit to having it beyond a category, it's not clear. Rodhull andemu  00:06, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete it's OR, unsourced, and would surely be better as a category. JJL (talk) 00:25, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Not Groovy Sorry, man, but this is just another randomly slapped together, unreferenced list. Ecoleetage (talk) 00:29, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Is there a link so we can see the terms of reference? -- Rodhull andemu  00:41, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I've seen it. It's just a list with no objective criteria, and several debatable entries. Many are prog-rock but not very "psychedelic", e.g. Camel, Crosby Stills & Nash, Country Joe & The Fish. "Artists" in itself is moot. Do we include Warhol, Jackson Pollock, The Fool? -- Rodhull andemu  00:51, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Should be a category. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:03, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. From the title, I thought that this was going to be about colorful pictures done by people like Peter Max.  Instead, it's original research at its worst: "This is a list of artists whose work can be classed in the psychedelic music genre".  I can't figure out what H.P. Lovecraft is doing on here, unless someone dropped acid and could "hear" the pages.  For the most part, this looks like a bunch of people having a conversation.  "Grateful Dead, man!  Blue Cheer... yeah.  Don't forget Strawberry Alarm Clock!" Mandsford (talk) 14:47, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
