List of musicians that have made guest appearances on Nickelodeon shows
Not terribly encyclopedic; it's not as though musicians who appear on Nickelodeon appear nowhere else or are somehow unique. Also, currently contains one (1) entry. tregoweth 15:41, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * I did point to Votes for deletion/List of musicians that are popular amongst Nickelodeon fans in the edit summary of the edit that created the article. Uncle G 17:26, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete unencyclopedic. Xoloz 05:29, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep iff renamed to List of celebrities who have made a guest appearance on Nickelodeon shows. No need to limit to musicians when there are currently only two entries; a "celebrity list" is in keeping with precedent for other networks. Xoloz 09:04, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete not encyclopedic. JamesBurns 07:51, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for now, on the basis that this list was suggested by several voters in the VfD Uncle G points to. Give it a few months, as we would do for an article that had recently survived a VfD. Pburka 14:03, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Just for the record, I don't think that a suggestion in a VfD should be accorded the same weight as the survival of a VfD. People will throw out suggestions that they might not even fully support on reflection.  I'm a firm due process supporter, but, if voters like this list, it isn't too much to ask that they come here to vote for it, since this is the first time this list has been up for a decision.

 * Delete. This is not encylclopedic. Indrian 20:48, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. We've kept more pointless (IMHO, of course) lists. This compromise could be useful to people who are fans of both Nick and music, and can grow. Niteowlneils 00:52, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm leaning toward keep as well. While it's not likely to be viewed on its own, it certainly can make a good companion piece to the main Nickelodeon article and can be wikied accordingly. - Lucky 6.9 01:01, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I suggested at Votes for deletion/List of musicians that are popular amongst Nickelodeon fans that this was a better list to have.  We have similar lists, such as List of celebrities on the Simpsons.  Nickelodeon is a very prominent cable TV channel, and artists appearing on there usually get a good following from that channel's demographic (and the successful ones usually get started by appearing there, on the Disney Channel, and on similar kids' TV channels).  So if we could take this list and expand it to include names from Nick's past history (which goes back to 1979) and the international versions of it, then that would certainly have encyclopedic value.  (By the way, thanks to Uncle G for letting me know that this article was up for VfD.) --Idont Havaname 03:08, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not unsympathetic to that argument -- however, since the list has two entries now, how about renaming it List of celebrities who have made a guest appearance on Nickelodeon shows? Why just musicians, when there are only two as of now, and I distinctly recall seeing Bill Cosby, for example, at the first Kid's Choice Awards in 1988? Xoloz 05:39, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Good point. I'd support that; it's in keeping with all of the "List of celebrities who have appeared on (some show, channel, or something like that)" lists.  When the list gets big enough, it would be good to divide it (within the list, not create new articles) into musicians, actors, and so on.  I think it's worth noting that Bill Cosby appeared on a Nickelodeon show.  (Though I haven't looked at the related articles very much at all - are hosts of awards shows included on those, or just people who appear on the regular daily or weekly shows?) --Idont Havaname 06:23, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I have changed my vote accordingly. Xoloz 09:06, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. This needs to be properly maintained, not deleted, although it's not worth keeping in its current state. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 06:00, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non encyclopedic. These artists are not unique just because they were on nickelodeon. Howabout1 Talk to me!|Vote on my RfA! 16:41, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep if renamed as suggested by Xoloz. -- Yvh11a 02:31, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
