List of live performances by The Chemical Brothers
Listcruft. Unencyclopaedic and of no use whatsoever I feel. Stu  ’Bout ye!  09:42, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete with the quickness. Danny Lilithborne 10:00, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete because it is not exactly encyclopaedic and borders on listcruft imho. -- Grafikm_fr   (AutoGRAF)  10:09, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - if live performances by the group were a rarity and/or of an unpredictable nature, a list like this might be worth having (cf Jandek). Ac@osr 11:16, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT. --[[Image:Flag of India.svg|20px]]Srik e it ( talk ¦  ✉  ) '' 11:56, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, listcruft, live appearance nothing special, they're not The Residents. ProhibitOnions 12:12, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep (looks like I'm going to lose this one but...) information is not currently almaganated in a single place, shows interesting patterns in terms of gig frequency and location. Martin Hinks 14:00, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep the article is still young & should be allowed to mature into an article which is beyond dispute like List of Jean-Michel Jarre concerts. The nomination on the talk page claims that this list is unlimited/unmaintainable, this is patently incorrect. At some point the Chemical Brothers will either split or die & the list will finish meanwhile new performances can easily be added quicker than they are likely to be performed. As for whether one would expect to find this info in an encyclopedia, perhaps you would not expect to find it in other smaller encyclopedias but I'm surprised how few similar lists are in existance. Much of the information is widely considered to be encyclopeidic when arranged in other forms e.g. Reading and Leeds Festivals The parent article The Chemical Brothers is already longer than 30kb so merging would impractical.

 * Weak Keep per MGSpiller. The article needs more people working on it, but I am willing to give them an opportunity.
 * Comment - the comparison to Jean-Michel Jarre is misleading but then, so is this article in its current form. Jarre is known for irregular, spectacular live shows in unusual locations. The Chemicals Brothers are not. The current version of the article includes only festival appearances and their 2005 UK trek, giving the suggestion that The Chemical Brothers may fall into a similar catagory to Jarre. They don't. They are just another touring band who play the usual venues in the usual cities whenever they release an album. An improved, comprehensive version of this article would only go to prove its lack of notability. Why bother? Ac@osr 15:04, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:NOT which is what this seems to be.  Vegaswikian 04:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
