List of electronic and industrial music artists
An endless, subjective and impossible to maintain list Nuttah68 20:44, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - All artists are unique and do their own music and we badly needed a place to collect all electronic artists in a same place Shandristhe azylean 20:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment thats what categories, which update on linking, are for. Nuttah68 21:14, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep - Industrial music is a noted, popular and busy genre. I nearly went for a weak keep due to the lumping together with "electronic" which is pretty much a meaningless term and would, in strict application, exclude some of the acts listed. However, the fact that something needs work is not a criteria for deletion. Ac@osr 21:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - not a list fan, especially when the only thing they add over a category is redlinks, but there are 226 different lists in Category:Lists of musicians and this one is as valid and maintainable as most there. If you want to put the other 225 up I'll change to delete. - Yomangani talk 21:34, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Turn into a category, because this will be impossible to maintain in its current state. If people add an article to the category, the category page automatically updates, providing a more thorough list, not to mention that it seems to be the precedent around here to make such collections into categories. - Thorne N.

 * Comment - Many people either don't know how to or never add categories to articles. Shandristhe azylean 22:31, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment and many people will not search for lists to see is the article they have created belongs on it. Nuttah68 22:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep lists of artists by genre. Gazpacho 02:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


 * This list is a fusion of the List of EBM artists with the List of industrial music artists, nothing more. For more details, read this discussion. --Menorrhea 06:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll remove the template. The discussion is gone to sleep. --Menorrhea 11:18, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
