List of celebrities and musicians with a MySpace profile
And: Not useful or encyclopedic. Similar cats deleted: here and here. Delete. Crumbsucker 17:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * List of famous people on MySpace
 * List of notable musical acts on MySpace


 * Delete. Useful only if you're a spammer.  Lazybum 18:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete the first article, Keep or Merge the second two. A broad, highly inclusive list is a spam and self-promotion magnet.  However, a List of famous people on MySpace seems somewhat useful given the enormity of Myspace as fad/cultural phenomenon (however, I think it would be important for editors to keep this list limited to very famous people).--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 18:22, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I can definately see how, if you were looking for infomation about someone, knowing if they had a myspace thing or not would be useful. Having this list and linking to it from the individual's article would serve as  a sort of "see also" guide for the general wikipedia user who is just looking stuff up to learn more about it.  I really don't see any reason for it to go except that it would never be all-inclusive, but when is anything wikipedia has ever all-inclusive? ONUnicorn 19:02, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Having a MySpace is not an encyclopedic trait worthy of lists. It's close to product promotion, in fact. It'd be like making a list of people who drank Pepsi or had an I-Pod. Crumbsucker 19:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Not really. What does the fact that they have had drunk Pepsi or owned an I-pod tell you about them? If, on the other hand, they have a MySpace page, then noting that fact and linking to it in their article is almost the same as linking to their non-myspace-website, or citing their auto-biography as a source in an article.  It gives the general reader and researcher someplace to go for more information. ONUnicorn 20:34, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * There's a difference between linking to a MySpace and making a list of people with them. We don't have a list for people who have non-MySpace websites. Crumbsucker 20:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, it's no longer an interesting point that some bands have websites, blogs, or MySpace accounts. Ashi b aka tock 21:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Who cares about a "NO LISTS" policy? If the list is interesting, I say keep it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.240.34.14 (talk • contribs)
 *  Keep and merge: I have a different view of this it's videly known that Musicians can easily have their own my space accounts on the sites but what about normal celebrities. I should point out for example I know at least 10-12 voice actors who have myspsace accounts and it is really useful to use. I would suggest merging all of them together.--Jack Cox 00:14, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Everyone has a MySpace it seems. -Diabolos 01:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:OR. Also as a magnet for link spam. -- Koffieyahoo 02:38, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Unencyclopedic, unmaintainable, inherently vulnerable to unverified additions... If a celebrity has a MySpace page that is verified as actually being their own official MySpace page, add it as an external link in the article about them. Nothing beyond that is necessary or desirable. --Icarus (Hi!) 04:38, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
