As with List of hip hop singers, a pointless list which is better served by categories. Benefix (talk) 19:19, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - this contains redlinks to needed articles, something a category can't do. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  22:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep  As a general rule, every category that is not hopeless unmanageable should support a  list also if people are willing to make them. Some people actually prefer categories, and they do have their uses, but that is no reason to remove navigational devices that other people find useful.As this list gives the name ofthe group, it provides more information than a category could.

 * Keep If lists aren't wanted then why is there such a thing as WP:FL? -- Web H amster  03:44, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Linguist & DGG. In no way is this list redundant to a category. JulesH (talk) 12:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep because lists should not be deleted in favor of categories. "Pointless" is a personal opinion, not a reason for deletion. The category is far less populated than this list, which demonstrates that categories are not always as well maintained as lists. This list should be used to help update the category, and vice versa.
