List of artists influenced by Beyoncé

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Okay, I know Beyonce is one of the most acclaimed artists of her generation, but this list comes to me as WP:FANCRUFT and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. How do we define "influenced by"? Any qualitative analysis? It seems some artists included here merely mentioned Beyonce by name in interviews. This list raises more questions than answers, and should not have existed in the first place. To note, in 2015 this list was merged into the Beyonce article, but somehow it was reverted in 2017.

 * Delete. This article is totally redundant. Whoever was influenced by Beyonce has that information probably on its main bio page. We do not need a separate list of that. — Tom (T2ME) 09:23, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. I agree with the previous voter; anyone who says they were influenced by Beyonce can have that fact stated at their own article. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 13:06, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete yeah I think we should delete this. Editors have abandoned this article for days and this article is so poorly written. By the way, should we also consider list these articles for deletion? I let y'all decide:
 * List of artists influenced by Michael Jackson
 * List of artists influenced by Madonna
 * List of artists influenced by Janet Jackson
 * List of artists influenced by Eminem
 * List of artists influenced by Christina Aguilera
 * List of celebrities influenced by Selena. ADTN1210 (talk) 12:09, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The proper procedure is probably to do a full AfD nomination for each of those other articles, but they could refer to the reasoning in this one. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 00:57, 9 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete all of the above per nom. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:25, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's how it works with bundled-AFDs. I have however started separate discussions, so feel free to join there. HĐ (talk) 02:31, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
 * There is two remaining of those lists to be nominated: Michael & Janet Jackson since I've the impression with the comments/nominations there is not exceptions to justify the existence of this type of lists, no matter the artist. I could, but I'm not very familiar opening an AfD tbh. Regards, --Apoxyomenus (talk) 23:03, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Whoops. Thanks for reminding. I have nominated them both for AFDs. Please feel free to comment. Best, HĐ (talk) 02:04, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. Thanks. And there is actually two more: Selena and Ayn Rand (non-musician) --Apoxyomenus (talk) 02:16, 11 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete: I concur with the nomination and arguments. The best, we can do is avoid this type of lists. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 02:16, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete arbitrary list that falls into WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Bluesatellite (talk) 06:17, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge notable examples of how Beyonce influenced other artists with more detailed explanation into Cultural impact of Beyoncé, and Delete the rest per arguments above. Bgkc4444 (talk) 09:16, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * comment I do not oppose deleting this article. I only fear that voting for this may result in its deletion, while others like it possibly may not end up deleted. So if the other ones go and if this comment can then be used as a “delete” vote.TruthGuardians (talk) 23:07, 11 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete Just a POV fancruft used for POV pushing and providing a false notion that "everyone has been influenced by my favorite artist". We don't need that here. TolWol56 (talk) 02:07, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
