List of artists influenced by Janet Jackson

 * – ( View AfD View log )

WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:FANCRUFT apply. The whole section #1, "Influence and commentary", is WP:CFORK and can be reasonably included at Janet Jackson. The list of artists who were "influenced by" Jackson is dubious--how do we define "influenced by"? What specific criteria? Does name-checking Jackson in interviews make her a so-called "influence"? This "list" raises more questions than answers, and is not what Wikipedia is supposed to be. HĐ (talk) 02:02, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete, per nom. Nothing encyclopedic about this arbitrary list of names (WP:LISTCRUFT). Bluesatellite (talk) 06:29, 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 the others 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) 23:02, 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) 02:05, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per user above. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:20, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - This article actually has some useful research on Janet's widespread influence, but that is already covered at her article. This list is an unnecessary content fork that suffers from the indiscriminate problem. For anyone who says they were influenced by Janet, that fact (if backed up) can be mentioned at their own articles. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:02, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
