List of defunct music venues in Atlanta

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

And another one... That bot's putting more than its usual share of "weird lists" into Category:Stubs today. This one consists almost entirely of redlinks, and since the venues are, by definition, defunct it seems pretty unlikely that anyone will be adding more. As far as I'm aware we don't have anything similar for any other place, and Atlanta's small enough in terms of music venues that this could sit comfortably a the bottom of a List of music venues in Atlanta. Since any unilateral move on my part would probably prompt howls of protest, bringing it over for discussion first —  irides centi   (talk to me!)  21:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable list -- I really can't imagine anyone searching for "defunct music venues in Atlanta". Furthermore, the list is almost entirely redlinks with little hope for expansion. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 22:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete even a list of music venues in Atlanta could come across as more of a tour guide than an Encyclopedia. Defunct ones?  I'm highly doubtful.  Maybe a category.  FrozenPurpleCube 23:08, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Move/merge If it's appropriate for an appendix List of music venues.... D'oh! That list doesn't exist. OK, I've saved this content on my user page for later inclusion on an actual list. Of course, it appears lists of any kind are depricated these days :( Jolomo 03:20, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - weird certainly but harmless - whoever created it saw a need for it and I can live with this around the store!  Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp !  (Whisper...) 07:20, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: As a veteran of 688 and 40 Watt Club and Uptown Lounge, I think it's great that we have articles on these clubs, as they were really quite important for pop music, but the list really doesn't do much, and I have some very, very dark suspicions that it was created to memorialize (and page rank) a club that never could have warranted an article, or at least that it has come to be used that way.  Some of the venues are decidedly minor/transient, and dead clubs are more numerous even than dead ants.  In a city of 3,000,000 with a thriving scene, the stack of corpses is simply too high.

 * Comment Tell me the 40 Watt hasn't closed! It's practically the CBGBs of the South. (Mind you, if they can close The Marquee...) —  irides centi   (talk to me!)  16:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
