This list is unmaintainable and a category would serve the job perfectly well. Computerjoe 's talk 18:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep perfectly good list which is capable of doing myriad things a category simply can not do. Jcuk 18:13, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: A category can list names as well as a page. That's all this page seems to serve is... a list.  Seicer  (talk) (contribs) 19:40, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, I see nothing accomplished by this list that a category wouldn't accomplish as well. Krimpet 21:17, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - unmaintainable as noted by nom, also heavily if not irreparably flawed by POV/OR concerns absent any indication that the musicians listed consider themselves "power pop," let alone that anyone else does. Otto4711 22:10, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Categorize and delete. No need for a list when a category will do. --Hemlock Martinis 00:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Categorize and delete per Hemlock Martinis. Although power pop, like obscenity, is inherently difficult to define, I think the category is as useful and a lot more maintainable than this list. --Butseriouslyfolks 06:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep until categorised and only then delete. Categories are inferior to lists in many respects as there are many things a list can accomplish besides simply listing entries alphabetically.  However, this list does not really do any of those many things (except possibly aiding in article development, but this is not of much use since it's unsourced).  Also, Category:Power pop musicians does not exist.  What's the point in stating that a category could do the job better, as long as no category exists that does do the job better? -- Black Falcon 20:05, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and Userfy if requested - It does not seem possible to create an unambiguous statements of membership criteria based on definitions made by reputable sources for this compliation as per References for list items. -- Jreferee 18:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
