List of musicians from Minnesota
This was deleted under prod and then recreated. I think it should be considered by the community, whether it's a useful maintainable list, or one that would be better handled with Category:Minnesota musicians and Category:Minnesota musical groups. No vote. GTBacchus(talk) 18:23, 27 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete as redundant, per nom. RGTraynor 19:20, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: "This was deleted under prod and then recreated"... doesn't that make it speedy-able under CSD G4? Is it a exact copy of the original category before deletion? Kimchi.sg | talk 21:03, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * That makes it absolutely not G4 speediable. A big part of the point of Proposed deletion is that prodded articles may be recreated without prejudice. -GTBacchus(talk) 21:10, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It depends. It could enable us to develop a list of notable musicians from Minnesota. At the start of my time here, I worked on developing the List of Australian musicians with many highly notable Australian artists lacking articles. This has been fixed now. On the other hand, it could be a target for red links of non-notable bands saying Prince is listed so we should be to. Capitalistroadster 21:48, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess I would suggest that, if we just want a list of redlinks to indicate articles that need to be written, then a page at WP:MEA might be a better way to maintain that than a list article. -GTBacchus(talk) 21:57, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. A category is fine, but this is an unmaintainable list of musicians that threatens to generate a pile of articles about nn-bands, i.e. listcruft. Stifle (talk) 16:37, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
