List of musical quartets
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

No content except one entry (Royal String Quartet). List of musical quartet articles can be found at Category:Musical quartets. There is no need to make a huge list of musical quartets in article when they can also be found at the category.

 * Comment:This list would most probably just turn into a huge list of all musical groups that have four people. In other words it would be a never ending list.  Ilyushka88  Talk to me 06:16, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment A collection of list pages divided by genre would be much more useful than the category which is a complete muddle IMO. Polarpanda (talk) 16:13, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Same as with the last AfD, the list scope is too broad and violates WP:SALAT. Not opposed to having different lists which compile notable quartets of an established genre, such as string quartets, but putting them all into one list would be listcruft.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete From what I see by editor's history, he or she had in mind a string quartet rather than an exhaustive article about foursomes. The content was then added to List of string quartet ensembles.  Absent any protest from the author, I think it's safe to go ahead and delete this. Mandsford (talk) 00:49, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
