List of artists who have recorded at Abbey Road Studios

 * – ( View AfD View log )

For the exact same reasons as at List of artists who have recorded at PatchWerk Recording Studios and List of artists who have performed at the Colston Hall; this is WP:RAWDATA; Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Wikipedia is not a directory of every band or singer that has recorded at any particular studio. There is no evidence that recording at this particular studio is a hugely notable distinction in the field of music that would warrant such an article. Many artists have recorded here. Some of them are notable. Some of them less so. It clearly isn't that much of an exclusive club. This list does not meet any purpose listed at WP:LISTPURP and as User:Doomsdayer520 said on a previous AfD, this is grouping people together for a reason that is not notable.

 * Redirect to Abbey Road Studios - Perhaps we could have a sentence which states "Several notable artists, such as [...] have recorded at the studio." Foxnpichu (talk) 13:44, 8 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete Per nomination. Simply way too many clients at Abby Road makes nothing especially unique about recording there. I like the suggestion above to have a section on the Abby Road page that acknowledges select notable artists associated with the place. (Without even checking, I wouldn't be surprised if such an entry is already there.) ShelbyMarion (talk) 14:13, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Not really. There is kind of one in the 1950s-1970s section, but only specifically for producers and sound engineers. Foxnpichu (talk) 00:13, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - I suspect that someone else will cite policies that allow the inclusion of lists like this, but I am the anti-clutter type and will second the policies cited by the nominator. There seems to be a misperception about how recording at Abbey Road Studios is some sort of exclusive honor, as if you have to be invited by the Queen or something. But this list proves that the studio is a business and if someone pays then they're in. Walking in the door is not notable, what matters is the album that you record there. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:17, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per Doomsdayer520. RobinCarmody (talk) 18:47, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: Nothing unique about this studio. Also, should be added to this AfD, it's even more of an indiscriminate collection of info than this list is.  Username  6892  19:42, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * because this AfD is already under way and because the topics are (only slightly) different, I thought it would be best to nominate it for AfD separately, it can be found here. Thanks. Spiderone  20:42, 8 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete: agree with the nominators reasoning. Peter303x (talk) 22:14, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
