List of music festivals in Italy

 * – ( View AfD View log )

List contains an excessive amount of Red and external links which fails WP:NOT. A small handful of articles on notable festivals do exist, however it doesn't appear to be enough to support a stand alone list. Hu12 (talk) 16:45, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, perfectly reasonable list and meritless deletion nom contrary to WP:ATD. An "excessive amount of red and external links" is a matter for cleanup, not wholesale deletion.  There was once a time when red links were seen as a to-do list, identifying possible missing article topics, not as something to stamp out.  Not a good shift in Wikipedia culture, nor is it a good practice to nominate something for AFD, primarily on cleanup grounds, when there has been no effort to clean up through editing nor even a single talk page comment about the list's issues.  I also disagree with the characterization that only "a small handful of articles" exist, as Category:Music festivals in Italy and its subcategories shows that number to be over 40.  Even if that number were not "enough to support a stand alone list," then this would still be merged and/or redirected to List of music festivals.  postdlf (talk) 18:26, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep A list on a notable topic. Redlinks and linkspam should be addressed via editing, as AfD is not for cleanup.  Lugnuts  (talk) 08:25, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Enough blue links that link to Wikipedia articles to justify the list. Anything that doesn't have its own article, or news coverage for it, you can discuss pruning on the talk page.   D r e a m Focus  22:29, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
