List of double bass players in other popular genres

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This was bundled in with some other (better) bass-related lists in a no-consensus AfD a couple of years ago, when the main concerns were: unlilkely title, unclear scope, easily replaced by a category... Several entries don't even appear to be double bassists at all. Littered with redlinks and nonlinks, i.e. vanity magnet... Bad list.  Dei z  talk 16:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Title is also a major concern - "other popular genres"? First line of article seems to arbitrarily decide that classical and jazz are the popular genres that these are other to, but double bass players play in a wide variety of musical genres as a matter of course - they're common in folk and rockabilly and were de rigueur in rock in the 1950s. Grutness...wha?  01:28, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
