List of all-female bands

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

As In my opinion the criteria for this list is too general in scope which has lead to many disputes and why is all female hyphenated? neon white talk 12:37, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: I think rather than delete the list, the lists specific criteria for inclusion needs to be re-written. I 100% agree the criteria is way too general. If one looks at the history of the list you will see there has been the same discussions about defining "All Female Band" since 2004. On September 1, 2008 I asked for input as to how to better "weed" the list and how to make clearer the lists specific guidelines for inclusion. My attempt at a reformatting and rewording last week failed because there was no consensus reached. The List of female rock singers, List of female bass guitarists,List of elected or appointed female heads of state and the many other "list of female"  lists are pretty clear from their titles what goes on the list. One of the biggest problems with this list is that "Band" is not clearly defined. Nor is "All Female". It was suggested by a third party that  "All female band" be defined so I added a 30 request October 1 and added a thread header for responses: (Talk:List of all-female bands). So as I say - Keep the list, re-write the lists specific criteria for inclusion and define "all female band" Soundvisions1 (talk) 13:59, 11 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I would say keep and rewrite. "All female" is a clear and unambiguous criteria for inclusion, and is likely to be mentioned in reliable sources that cover each band. Protonk (talk) 16:13, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and rewrite the introduction. Unhyphenate all female. Reliable source refer to bands based on gender making this a relevant topic. Content disputes are not a reason for deletion. Duffbeerforme (talk) 18:37, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep There are many relevant sources for all-female bands, and the criteria for inclusion couldn't really be more clear-cut. Simply needs cleanup and sources. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 19:15, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem is that, as the guideline says, we can make a list of absolutely anything. Is it encyclopedia to create seperate lists for every concept merely seperating them on the basis of gender? -- neon white talk 21:21, 11 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep for same reason as above: topic is notable, everything else can be fixed. P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 19:45, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
