List of Southern hip hop artists

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Here is a list that is just a linkfarm. I put all members of the list into the Category:Southern hip hop musicians or its subcategories. All the members of the list were musicians, not graffiti artists or something. The list had accumulated many redlinks (=non-notable) or poorly disambiguated links (=list functioned worse than a category). I then redirected the list to the category, and even plopped some text down in the category header. Shortly thereafter, I was reverted. So I'm nominating the list for deletion.

 * Delete. The category does the job better. Thanks for working on it, FFF. -- Rob C. alias Alarob 02:43, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The problem with these lists is people just add all these non-notable/non-existent artists who'll never have articles. The category serves this purpose and ensures only notable artists are kept. Spellcast 07:43, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Definitely not need for this article. Like those before me said, category does a much better job. --Alessandro 19:44, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
