 * Delete The majority of links in this list are not to articles about fictional music groups but other media. There are not enough actual articles about fictional music groups to merit a list. If all the blue links were to articles about the groups themselves, I would have a different opinion.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 11:56, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Minecrafter0271 (talk) 15:11, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete not very well sourced. Also there is not real defining threshold limit here, so we could get throw away lines mixed with groups that are shown at least in snppets singing hundreds of songs.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:41, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:NOTDUP and WP:CLN. The category shows there are enough valid and notable entries to merit a standalone list, and everything else (such as sourcing and inclusion criteria/threshold) is an ordinary matter for editors to resolve through normal processes. AFD is WP:NOTCLEANUP, yet fixable problems are ultimately what all of the deletion! votes are fundamentally complaining of. postdlf (talk) 19:32, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
