This is an unnecessary list WP:FORKed from List of best-selling music artists TheWikiholic (talk) 06:34, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Undecided - This non-vote is coming from a dude. I think the nominator's reference to the content fork rule is valid. On the other hand, there could be arguments for keeping this article per many points made at Gender bias on Wikipedia. This article highlights women in a way that can counter their low representation on Wikipedia, and the challenges that they face in the music industry. I'm not sure of the policy implications here, so that's why this is a non-vote. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 01:30, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't understand how the "Gender bias on Wikipedia" argument can apply here, as we don't have a "List of best-selling male music artists" for male artists. TheWikiholic (talk) 11:12, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It was a suggestion, not a vote. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:16, 14 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete: This is just List of best-selling music artists but with the male artists removed. This is duplicative and serves no additional purpose. Reywas92Talk 03:21, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: I agree with the two votes so far. This list has always been somewhat incomplete and there are female artists who have had the required record sales, but are not included due to lack of certifications. With the rise of streaming, some modern female artists' record sales could be very much inflated. It is challenging keeping up with other female artists that sold over 75 million or more records, so I nominate this article for deletion.
