List of nasal singers
Subjective topic by definition, and so not in line with WP:NPOV. Could easily be used as a "list of singers I don't particularly like"; I don't see this ever being a very encyclopaedic article. --PeruvianLlama(spit) 20:25, 2 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete - even if there were an objective definition for the term "nasal singers", it would not be a well defined set. Where's the cut-off?  Who decides if Tina Turner is nasal and Cyndi Lauper is not? No one is that authoritative. 147.70.242.21 20:48, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete since as far as I can make out all of these singers sing through their mouths, not their noses. Pity, I was looking forward to something genuinely novel here. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 21:20, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, one sings through both. 147.70.242.21 is right, though.  It is a matter of opinion, and there's no attempt at neutrality here.  One would render such an article neutral by attributing the opinion of "nasality" to its holders.  However, since that would result in a hotch-potch of multiple opinions from different sources, there being no one single definition of "nasal", it seems daft to have a single list article on the subject.  "List of singers considered to be 'nasal' according to various people's individual and differing definitions of 'nasal'" seems far too cumbersome to ever be useful to anyone.  Attributed opinions about individual singers are far better reported in the articles on those singers. Delete. Uncle G 22:26, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. I don't know if WP:ISNOT applies, but I just couldn't resist. 23skidoo 00:18, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as inherently POV. Jtmichcock 00:56, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not inherently POV but the chances of it's being properly worked up are zilch. If not deleted, then the article should be rewritten to say that it is a list of names of singers together with source citations attesting to their nasal voice tone. Then every name that is not accompanied by such a citation, i.e. all of them, should be cut from the article, pasted into the talk page, and not reinserted until a citation can be provided. I think I'll do that much right now. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:42, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - if there were even more than one person listed, I might even consider it, but why not start List of Off-Key Singers or List of Singers with a Slight Lisp? Or List of Singers who you can't tell if they are British or American when they are singing? Bill shannon 02:47, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
