Pointless and neglected list which fails list guidelines and is obviously better served by categories. Far too vague to be useful and we already have a large enough problem with non-notable hip hop articles. JBsupreme (talk) 08:02, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly indiscriminate and well never be anywhere close to complete, thus not helpful for a search. If it does get kept somehow it should be renamed, as hip hop performers would generally not call themselves "singers". JuJube (talk) 11:29, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Themfromspace (talk) 11:35, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete indiscriminate list, perfect target for MySpace acts to add themselves. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 13:58, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per above. Tatarian (talk) 15:34, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - I would just like to play Devil's advocate in that the points above all express a sort of frustration with hip-hop articles that might be coming from a place of unfamiliarity more than anything else. In the case of the text itself, the list is not very good but doesn't it make sense that there would be a page that lists all the different notable hip-hop acts? It seems like if an artist added to the list could be properly linked to the artist's individual wikipedia page that would be a good standard for inclusion on the list. I vote keep because I see this being a potential resource. 138.23.82.131 (talk) 01:09, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
