List of bands from Washington
The fact that these bands are from Washington is not notable because none is famous for being from Washington. Also this article should be 'artists' from Washington, bands are just a fraction of performers from the state. See Talk:List of bands from Washington
 * Question Is there any particular reason for only nominating the Washington list, or would you propose deletion for every list at ? GassyGuy 05:18, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Of all the state-band lists you picked the one from Washington? The only problem I see is that they overlap with Category:List of bands from XY, but the lists are well kept, contain additional information (city) seem to be in a better shape than the categories. If someone is willing to put in the effort to categorize them all they could be considered for deletion. ~ trialsanderrors 07:12, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

 * KEEP I'm from Washington, and enjoy having the links to all the local bands or "artists" on that page. Most bands are only "famous" for being from Seattle, but this page shows that talent comes from all over Washington.  KEEP THE PAGE PLEASE! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.204.149.104  (talk • contribs)
 * Delete, listcruft... although maybe it might make for a rich source of gathered together future AFD targets of bedrooms bands who have been busy on Wikipedia. Probably worth making a copy of it in user space first, just in case. Use cats for this stuff. - Motor (talk) 14:15, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep There are lists of musicians from most states in the U.S....why should this one be randomly chosen for deletion? Amazinglarry 21:17, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak keep, though it might function be better as a category than a list. ENpeeOHvee 05:21, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep &mdash; This is the type of information I'd like to be able to look up, although it'd be fine as a merge into a category. &mdash; RJH (talk) 01:46, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
