 * Delete per nom. There might be a case to be made for a list of popular musicians with degrees in music itself (or classical musicians without), but my brain's too fuzzy to think that one through seriously right now. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 11:10, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Listing any profession by the degrees its practitioners hold, regardless of the relevance of the degree to the profession, is indiscriminate and contrary to policy. Proper categorization of the article on any particular musician would serve the purpose much better. Agent 86 19:57, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
